Embracing the Unseen Plan
In a world where we’re often led to believe that things will always go our way, it’s refreshing to be reminded that God’s plans are far greater than our own. The truth is, we don’t always get what we want, but God always gives us what we need.
The Protection of Unanswered Prayers
There’s protection in unanswered prayers. It’s easy to get caught up in the idea that God should grant us everything we desire, but what if those desires aren’t aligned with His plans for us? What if, instead, He’s using those unanswered prayers to shape us, to refine us, and to prepare us for what’s to come?
A Call to Realism
It’s time to stop giving people false hope and false expectations. We must stop telling people that everything will be okay when, in reality, it might not. God doesn’t work everything out the way we think He should, but He works it out for our good. It’s up to us to see the good in what God does in our lives.
Faith in Action
Waiting on God is not a passive act. We have to do our part. The Bible tells us that faith without works is dead. It takes believing, trusting, praying, but it also takes action, planning, and preparation. Sometimes, we have to work hard to get the results we’ve been looking for.
Trusting God’s Plan
When we’re discouraged, feeling alone, and unsure of what’s next, it’s easy to lose sight of God’s plan. But we must remember that He has a purpose for our lives. We must let go of our expectations and trust that God is at work, even when we can’t see it.
Casting Our Cares
So, what can we do? We can cast our cares, worries, fears, and doubts on God, knowing that He will strengthen and settle us, bringing us to an expected end. We can thank Him for all that He’s done, even when we can’t see it. We can put our doubts and fears aside and trust that He is working everything out for our good.
A Prayer of Trust
Father, we come to thank You today for all that You’ve done that we can’t see. We put an end to our doubts, fears, cares, and concerns. We now move out of the way so that You can allow Your perfect work to be done in our lives. Show Yourself strong, Father, in the lives of Your people. Thank You for doing exceedingly abundantly above all we may ask or even think. In Jesus’ Holy name. Amen.
