Embracing God's Plan for Our Lives
OPENING PRAYER:
Dear Lord, as we come to the end of our week, help us to embrace Your plan for our lives. Give us the faith to trust in Your goodness and to follow Your will. Amen.
"For I know the plans I have for you," declares the Lord, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future."
Jeremiah 29:11 (NIV)
REFLECT:
God's plans for us are always good. Pastor Carter’s message reminded us that God has a plan to prosper us and to give us hope and a future. This promise from Jeremiah is a powerful reminder of God's faithfulness and love. Even when we face challenges and temptations, we can trust that God's plans for us are good.
Reflect on your own life. How have you seen God's plans unfold? What challenges have you faced, and how has God brought you through them? Trusting in God's plan requires faith, especially when we don't see the full picture. But we can be confident that God is working all things for our good.
Consider how you can align your life with God's plan. What steps can you take to seek His will and to follow His guidance? Embracing God's plan means surrendering our own desires and trusting in His perfect timing.
I WILL STATEMENT:
I will confess my sin to a trusted friend. Sharing this with someone who cares for you can help support you in prayer and be an encouragement to you.
CLOSING PRAYER:
Father, thank You for Your good and perfect plans for our lives. Help us to trust in Your guidance and to follow Your will. Give us the faith to embrace Your plans and to seek Your will in all things. Amen.
