GOD IS IN CONTROL, IF WE RELY ON HIM

We all have times when everything around us seems out of control, and we can’t get it right.  We talk to our family and friends, but it brings no peace; sometimes, it makes things worst.  But there is a way to cope with life no matter the situation; we do this through the Word of God.  We have so much going on in our minds about what we want for ourselves, but God does not play a role in our plans most of the time. "Jeremiah 29:11 For I know the plans I have for you says the Lord, plans for welfare and not evil, to give you a future and hope.' But unfortunately, our plans do not work; we do not include God.   "Matthew 19:26 But Jesus looked at them and said, “With man, this is impossible, but all things are possible with God.”   So for all those whose lives are out of control, let's talk to God so He can show us His plans for our lives.

Lord, teach us Your plans for our lives; help us not lean on our understanding but Yours.  Father, we understand that our thoughts are not Your thoughts, neither are our ways Your ways.  As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are Your plans for us.  Lord, just as You water the world, making it bring forth fruit, water our hearts and minds with Your Word so we may be fruitful.  Father, allow Your words to accomplish that which is Your purpose, and we shall succeed in all things.  Father, right now, some are anxious about tomorrow; help them to understand that their plans for tomorrow may never come.  Lord, help them focus on You and teach them Your purpose so that they may have hope and peace.  We pray together in Jesus' name. Amen.
