Let's Pray
Heavenly Father,
Thank You for being faithful in all Your ways and for holding my future securely in Your hands. In moments of uncertainty, help me to trust You completely and surrender my worries and plans at Your feet. Remind me of Your promises and fill my heart with Your peace that surpasses understanding. Teach me to lean not on my own understanding, but to acknowledge You in every part of my life, believing that You will direct my paths. Give me the courage to follow where You lead and the patience to wait on Your perfect timing. May I walk by faith, not by sight, resting in the assurance that Your plans for me are good.
In Jesus’ name, Amen.
Dream boldly. Plan wisely. Honor God daily.
