Planning Well And Working The Plan

God has a plan for our life each day that is meaningful, purposeful, and joyful.  There is a work for us to do today that will bless others and give us deep satisfaction.  God is not only interested in what we do, but why we do it.  Our circumstances may not change immediately but when we seek God's direction and help in what we have planned, we can safely leave the outcome with Him. 

We can pray at any time during the day, but there is something special about beginning the day with God in prayer, bringing our plans before Him, and intentionally seeking His guidance.  Everything will flow better when we do that, even though we may encounter challenges along the way.  When we are conscious of God being with us and are seeking His help, positive solutions will come more quickly and easily.  

As we move forward, we are encouraged to do those things that we can do, so our plans will succeed.  We are all blessed with a sense of what is right or wrong, above-board or shady.  We need to pay attention to that knowledge and seek protection when we become aware of others operating in that way.  We may not do things perfectly, but we can learn from our experiences and trust that God will bless us when we pick ourselves up and move on from any failure or disappointment.

Prayer:  Heavenly Father, Help me to trust You with my plans and follow Your guidance in all I do.  Give me discernment to recognize when things are going wrong and to learn from my disappointments and failures rather than quit.  Amen
