For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans for welfare and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope.

Jeremiah 29:11

Life contains a series of plans that we always hope will occur. When we were born, our parents looked forward with hope and plans we would grow into a healthy, productive child. But life on earth has no guarantees. There may be bumps on our life path that can arise such as sickness, failure at school or work, or a marriage that is a failure for our sons or daughters. In other words, there are absolutely no guarantees.

What do we do? First is to always ask for Gods guidance, accepting what He has planned for us. It is always difficult to totally trust anyone with our problems, but we must always accept His guidance, simply because it is perfect.

Our Father, may we always go to You for guidance in this sin-filled world and trust Your plans as they are forever. Amen.

Reflect: Trust in all circumstances and never forget, God is perfect and always available.
