Many are the plans in a person’s heart,
but it is the LORD’s purpose that prevails.—Proverbs 19:21 (NIV)
Sovereign LORD,
Help me always to lift up my plans before You—with my palms wide open—as I submit my will to Your will and my life to Your perfect purpose.
You know every plan of my
heart—before it is ever formed in my thoughts.
You know when I make my
plans—in perfect concert with Your will for me.
You know when I make my
plans—without first consulting You at all.
You know when I make my
plans—after much prayer and meditation on Your Word.
You know when I make my
plans—despite what I have heard from You, in great foolishness and selfishness.
Yet despite all my plans,
it is always Your purpose that prevails.
So mold my plans to
accomplish Your purposes—and help me to have faith to believe that You will do
great things in my life, in order to glorify Yourself in me.
And help me to remember
that Your plans are always crafted with my best interest at heart—a reflection
of Your perfect and unfailing love for me.
Help me always to lift up my plans before You—with my palms wide open—as I submit my will to Your will and my life to Your perfect purpose.
In the name of Jesus,
Amen.
