"For I know the plans I have for you", says the Lord. "Plans to prosper you and not to harm you. Plans to give you a hope and a future." Jeremiah 29:11
Got any control freaks reading today?I know sometimes I have been. You just want your plan to be adhered to or want to be in charge. Perhaps you try to manipulate the outcome of a situation. Trust me, stay out of it. Others will lose their trust in you if you try to orchestrate plans.
When it comes to change in a loved one we have been praying for, our hands are off the controls. God has a plan and we have to realize we can pray but then step aside and let God work. God's plan is way better than the one we may devise. There may be some pain and problems involved but He is the one in charge and it will work out great in the end.
Waiting for a breakthrough? Let go and give the controls to God.
PRAYER: I trust you have my times in your hands. I need not fear the future as your plan will be fulfilled. In Jesus' name. Amen.

Becky: I am a recovering control freak-type A personality. I find it freeing to discover that I can turn issues over to God and let Him work His plan. I find I am more relaxed, most of the time. He has been a big help as I continue to go through this transition.
