Am I Ready to Remarry?Sample

Day 5 - Embracing God's Plan for You

Scripture: Jeremiah 29:11 "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."

This scripture is totally one of my favorites! I love it because it shows how much God loves us and wants us to be happy. When I spent that year getting closer to God, I started to realise that my plans might not always be what's best for me. I had this idea of the kind of husband I thought I wanted, but as I got to know myself the way God made me, I understood that what I want isn't always what I need.

It was a real lesson in humility, understanding that my hope and future depend on trusting what He has in store for me, not just what I've mapped out for myself. He knew the kind of husband who would be right for me, and He needed me to have faith in that, even if it didn't match up with the picture I had in my mind.

Let me tell you, I'm so grateful I put my trust in Him and followed His lead when He nudged me to let go of superficial wishes and focus on finding a man with the right kind of heart and character. Did He keep His promise to give me what I truly needed? You bet! My new husband is everything I need and, guess what, now he's everything I want too.

Reflect on the promise of a hopeful future that God holds for you. As you consider the idea of remarriage, remember that God's plans are always for your ultimate good. Surrender your desires and plans to Him, acknowledging that His wisdom far surpasses your own. Even if the path doesn't align with your expectations, trust that His plan is filled with goodness.

Reflection: Consider moments in your past when God's plans led to unexpected blessings. How can you actively cultivate an attitude of trust in His plans, even when they differ from your own? How does the assurance of a hopeful future impact your perspective on remarriage and your journey toward wholeness?

Prayer: Loving God, I am grateful for Your plans for my life. As I consider the idea of remarriage and other desires, I lay them at Your feet. Grant me the wisdom to embrace Your perfect plan, even when it differs from my own. Help me to trust that Your plans are filled with hope and goodness. Lead me on the path You've set before me. In Jesus' name, I pray. Amen.
