“To humans belong the plans of the heart, but from the Lord comes the proper answer of the tongue. All a person’s ways seem pure to them, but motives are weighed by the Lord. Commit to the Lord whatever you do, and he will establish your plans. The Lord works out everything to its proper end-even the wicked for a day of disaster.” Proverbs 16:1-4

Lord, Thank you for your wise rule and your good purpose. I’m trying really hard to figure out my life, to lay out a plan for it, and then to carry it out. But the longer I live here the more I realize that my plans are not that great and my ability to carry them out is so limited. I want to make plans that are good. I want to lay out an agenda for my day and weak that seeks to serve you and your kingdom. So, Lord, make me wise by your Spirit to lay out wise plans for my day and for my life. Then, teach me to commit my plans to you, to hand them over to you, for your editing and for your guiding. I trust that you will re-write my plan to serve your saving purpose. And when you do, Lord, hope me to submit to and accept the purpose you have ordained. You are wise in your rule and good in your purpose. Carry it out today through me. Amen.
