Day 12: Trusting His Plan

Devotion:
We all have plans and dreams, and we often picture exactly how things should unfold. But sometimes, life takes a turn we didn’t expect. Doors close, timing feels off, or the path we thought was certain becomes unclear. It can be frustrating, even heartbreaking, when our plans don’t pan out the way we hoped.

But here’s the thing: God’s plan is always better. He sees the bigger picture—the things we can’t yet understand. While we focus on what’s in front of us, He’s orchestrating something greater, something that aligns with His perfect purpose for our lives.

Trusting God’s plan doesn’t mean you won’t feel disappointed or unsure. It means choosing faith over frustration. It means believing that His timing, though it may feel slow or confusing, is exactly what you need. Today, let go of the need to control every detail and place your plans in God’s hands. Even if things look different than you imagined, trust that He’s working for your good and His glory. His plan is not just better—it’s the best.

Prayer:
Lord, help me to trust Your plan over my own. Remind me that Your ways are always better than mine. Amen.

Journal Prompt:
