In the name of The Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, Amen.

The heart of man plans his way, but the Lord establishes his steps. 

- Proverbs 16:9

We may make many plans, but it is God who ultimately guides the outcome. This verse reminds us to hold our plans loosely and trust that God is always at work, even when life unfolds differently than expected. As the year comes to an end, we are encouraged to submit our hopes and desires to God, knowing he is sovereign over every step.

How can you trust God’s direction more than your own understanding as you look ahead?

Let us pray: 

God, you are wise and sovereign over all things. I am sorry for the times I rely more on my own plans than on your will. Thank you for being faithful even when my steps are unsure. Please help me walk into the new year with faith in your perfect timing and purpose. Amen.

In the name of The Father, Son and Holy Spirit, Amen.
