Daily Devotional
"Pray First, Plan Afterwards" inspired by Evelyn Chistenson
If we could learn to pray first and plan afterward, how different would be whatever we are doing for Christ. Maybe, just maybe, we are planning in one direction and God's will is in another direction.
Many times have our plans lead us down a path that we normally would not travel. Our lives became filled with worry, pain, and fear. God may have seemed distant or even absent. Yet, the moment we stopped to pray and changed our plans, we were reunited with a path of peace.
What if we are following God's will?
Even if we are plugged into God's will, we may be going at a snail's pace. God says, " Look, you see only a tenth of what i have for you. There are nine tenths that you're not seeing, that you don't know anything about." God has so much in store for our lives and gives us so many opportunities.
We often miss opportunities to give God praise for things in our daily lives such as: enjoying the sunrise when you have to wake up early on call or for your shift, or thanking God for the ability to take exams. We often miss opportunities to touch others around us, and be God's hands and feet.
God wants us to make ourselves available to Him. Then our omnipotent God will pour out His power on us. Instead of following our tiny, tiny plans, God wants to open heaven and flood us. It's exciting.
"Let's Pray first and Plan afterward"
Dear Lord,
Please forgive me for all the times that I have failed to pray before I planned. Help me to make myself available to You in all situations and circumstances. Help me to make the most of every opportunity. Amen
