Dear God, show us the road
that you have chosen for us,
and give us the courage
to walk down it... Amen

Plans...

When faced with a sudden change in your life, and not knowing what tomorrow will bring...there is hope:
"I know the plans I have for you, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future". He had a plan for where and how they should live: "Build houses and settle down; plant gardens and eat what they produce". He had a plan for the families they should have: "Marry and have sons and daughters". He even had a plan for the country which enslaved them: "Seek the peace and prosperity of the city to which I have carried you into exile. (Jeremiah 29:5-11)
Pray to the Lord for it, because if it prospers, you too will prosper".

God has a plan for where and how we live, the families we raise, and the country we inhabit-what is left out? God has a plan for every part of our lives. Romans 12:2 calls God's will "good, pleasing and perfect."
