Your New PlaylistSample

A few weeks ago, I bought a new plant. Everything was going well; I watered it and kept it in the sunniest spot in my home. But it wasn't soon after that the plant went from looking beautiful and green, to dry and brown. As I grabbed some scissors to get rid of some lifeless-looking leaves, I wondered what went wrong and wasn't sure if my plant would ever look the same again.

Whether it’s a plant that you’re hoping will get better or another circumstance in your life, Jesus reminds us in Jeremiah 29:11 that the plans that He has for us are not for disaster, but to give us a future and hope. Personally, I ask God questions all the time about why my life is going in the direction that I didn’t plan on. I am reminded in these moments that God’s plans are the best and the greatest of all and are meant to take care of me, not abandon me.

So today, as a reminder that God’s plans for you are best, pray something like this: “God, I don’t know why Your plans are unfolding the way that they are, but, I’m trusting that You have the best in store for me. Only You know the future, and You say in Your Word that those plans for me are good and full of hope. I am believing this today because I trust you will show me where to go and that you are with me. Thank you, God. Amen.”
