The Story

We often feel that our plan is better than God’s will. If we let go of the difficulties now, we are still happier. Or if we choose another way. Life is still better than this, but our eyes see only a short moment, God sees our whole life and eternity. Sometimes getting out of a difficult situation may seem to be the wisest option, but over time we may see that God has used that difficulty to train our faith and entice us to grow even more. Even when we think it’s a failure, God can use it as an instrument of charity. Our life is not a story that flows by chance. God planned all our days with wisdom and love. Even the ways we don’t understand, the times to wait long and the moments filled with tears are under His good will. Above all, God has done the best for us, and He has given His only Son, Jesus Christ, to take our sins on the threshold, and to give us eternal life by being from death. God, who does not worship His Son, will lead our lives in the best way. Prayer: The wise and loving Father, I praise You, for You have always guided Your Son in the best way. Please forgive me when I trust my thoughts and plans more than your wishes. May the Holy Spirit give me faith, trust in God’s plan even in unknown circumstances, and be happy to follow Him today. Pray in the name of Jesus Christ Amen.

We often feel that our plans are better than God's will. If we could escape from our present difficulties, we would be much happier, or if we could choose another path, our lives would be better. But our eyes can see only a short period of time, while God sees our entire lives and eternity. Sometimes leaving a difficult situation may seem like the wisest choice, but as time passes, we may see that God used that hardship to train our faith and shape us to grow even more, and even in the periods we considered to be failures, God can use them as instruments of His grace. Our lives are not a story that unfolds by chance. God has planned all our days with wisdom and love. Even the paths we do not understand, the times of lengthy waiting, and the seasons filled with tears are under His good providence. Above all, God has done the greatest thing for us. He gave us His only Son, Jesus Christ, to bear our sins on the cross and to give us eternal life by raising Him from the dead. God, who did not withhold His Son, will also lead us in the best way. Dear Father, all-wise and full of love, I praise you because you always lead your children in the best way. Please forgive me when I trust in my own thoughts and plans more than your will. I thank You for giving me Jesus Christ to help me be saved. May the Holy Spirit give me faith. Trust in God's plan even in situations that are not yet understood. Rejoice in following You today. Pray in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.
