A Prayer of Trust in Your Plans
Lord, Your Word says that You know the plans You have for me, and I am so grateful. I confess that, at the moment, I can’t always see them.
My view is limited, and I am often tempted by fear and anxiety about the unknown.
The future feels uncertain, and I grow weary trying to figure it all out on my own.
But today, I choose to trust your heart over my circumstances. You say that your plans are to prosper me, not to harm me.
Help me believe that and rest in the knowledge that your intentions toward me are always good.
Quiet my anxious thoughts and replace them with deep, abiding trust in your sovereign care. I surrender my need for control and place my life, my worries, and my future into your loving hands.
