So many things in my life have come to me in spite of my planning, and even contrary to my dreams. Out of the ashes of failed dreams and unrealized plans has come a garden of richness. Flowers are blooming. Fruit is coming. It is impossible for me to take credit because it was not what I had planned. So here I sit in humble gratitude for the faithful providences of my Father.
Father, thank You for changing my plans. Thank You for closing that door that I wanted so much to walk through. Thank You for not giving me all the things for which I asked. Thank You for using Your wisdom when I was begging for You to use Your power. Thank You for the discipline that seemed so hard at the time. Now I see grace in all of these changed plans. Amen!
