For I know the plans and thoughts that I have for you,’ says the Lord , ‘plans for peace and well-being and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope. Jeremiah 29:11
Our gracious and loving Father. The one who created the Heavens and the Earth. He who is not limited by time nor space because you created them. We are amazed by your goodness, kindness and patients with us in our weakness and failure. We praise You for You know the end from the beginning. We thank you that no matter what our present circumstances we know that even when we cannot see it You are with us at all times. Your thoughts are ever upon us. Your thoughts and plans for us are for our good. Plans for us to know, acknowledge and receive your PEACE. The peace that passes ALL understanding. Peace that stands in faith and confidence in You even when the world seems to be falling apart all around us. We declare that we believe in You as our Provider whose desire is to see us be whole in all areas of our lives. We thank you and praise you that you know our future and because You are in it we have HOPE, trusting and believing in You with each step that we take.
Lord, we confess that we have made plans in our own minds and sought after them without relying on your guidance and have known failure and disappointments as a result. Forgive us for our independence and self-sufficiency. We repent from these ways and surrender our steps, our plans and our very wills to You. We know that as we live our lives in submission to You, You will direct each step and the Light of the Word of Truth will light our path as you guide us by The Spirit.
We pray as Jesus taught us to – Your kingdom, your will be done on Earth as it is Heaven.
Lord, we surrender every part of our lives and we ask that you allow us to feel and know your tangible presence as You walk with us, guiding us by The Spirit in EVERYTHING we say and do.
You died for me, I’ll live for you!!
AMEN
A man’s mind plans his way [as he journeys through life], But the Lord directs his steps and establishes them.
Proverbs 16:9
Your word is a lamp to my feet And a light to my path.
