| Trust Him to be as He has always been: faithful and sure. — Stacy Edwards,100 Favorite Bible Prayers  Faithful and Sure by Stacy Edwards, from 100 Favorite Bible Prayers 
 God is the One who knows the end from the beginning.
He is never caught off guard by our circumstances or bewildered by our behavior. He never feels pressured by the passing of time. God has always been — and will always be — in complete control of His creation.
Isaiah's acceptance of God's eternal nature, sovereignty, and faithfulness was evident in the way he prayed. He knew that God had a plan — a faithful and sure one formed long ago. Isaiah knew what Jeremiah knew: God's plans for us have been prepared in advance (Jeremiah 1:5), and they are plans to prosper us (Jeremiah 29:11).
When we understand that God has a plan and that nothing about our existence is haphazard or out of control, it changes the way we pray. And when we understand that we were made on purpose and with a purpose, it changes the way we live. Each of us is intentionally and uniquely handmade by a holy God who has a plan for us.
God has proven time and again that He is able "to rescue the godly from trials" (2 Peter 2:9 ESV). He led His followers out of lions' dens, fiery furnaces, and prisons because He still had plans for those individuals. If there's still breath in your body, He isn't finished with you.
Trust Him to be as He has always been: faithful and sure.
Only You, God, are worthy of my trust. You know the plans You have made for me, and I can rest assured in Your promise. Excerpted with permission from 100 Favorite Bible Prayers by Stacy Edwards, copyright Thomas Nelson.
