I was talking to a colleague about many ideas and plans I have. We shared plans for making our teaching better as well as plans for helping our future students be more prepared. This reminds me that as we enter the new year, we often have many plans on how to improve and be more successful. We can prepare to be successful by taking our plans to God in prayer and being sure they line up with His plans!
God has a plan for our lives, but He also allows us to make our own choices. When we want to do more, improve what we do, and be successful, we need to start with God's will and His plans. It is through God that we can have the wisdom and strength to purue these plans and find success. The more we talk to and rely on God, the greater our chances of success! As we go into the new year, our wish for each other can be to rely on God and accept His role in making our plans a success!
A wish for the new year is that you rely on God to help your plans succeed!
Prayer:
Dear God-
Thank You for always being there for me. Help me to rely on You so that my plans match Yours and can succeed. In Jesus' name I pray, amen.
