“A man’s heart plans his way, but the Lord directs his steps” (Proverbs 16:9 NKJV).

MAKING PLANS DURING A TIME LIKE THIS

There is no biblical prohibition against making plans. There is wisdom in planning for the future. Yet, it is foolish to leave the Lord out of our planning for God is the one who holds the future. So, ask for God’s wisdom when making plans. Seek godly counsel. Pray for clarity and follow God’s instruction. And when things don’t go according to plan, don’t get frustrated. Adjust. Be flexible and listen. Perhaps God has a better plan.
 
PRAYER: Dear Father, we are exhausted from making plans that often come to nothing. Teach us to make plans according to Your wisdom and will. And when our plans fail, help us to look to You, rather than becoming frustrated and giving up. Direct our steps, Lord. In Jesus’ name, amen.
