Today’s Jesus is Calling Devotional is on Trusting God’s Plan. The text is from Jeremiah 29:11 and it shows us practical steps to knowing and trusting God’s plan.

Scripture: “For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.” — Jeremiah 29:11

Trusting God’s plan is essential for every believer. Life can be unpredictable and filled with uncertainties, but knowing that God has a purpose for our lives brings peace and assurance. When we trust in His plan, we acknowledge His sovereignty and believe that He is working all things together for our good, even when we don’t understand the path ahead.

Seek God’s Guidance Through Prayer: Regularly communicate with God, asking Him to reveal His plans for your life. Prayer helps you align your desires with His will and gain clarity on His intentions.

Study the Bible: Dive into God’s Word to understand His promises and His character. The Bible provides insight into how God has guided His people in the past and how He can direct your future.

Be Patient: Trusting God’s plan often requires waiting. Cultivate patience and learn to rest in His timing, knowing that He is orchestrating everything for a greater purpose.

Surrender Control: Let go of the need to control every aspect of your life. Surrendering to God’s plan means trusting that His way is better than your own and being open to where He leads you.

Seek Counsel from Fellow Believers: Surround yourself with a community of faith who can offer support, encouragement, and wise counsel as you navigate trusting God’s plan for your life.
