In All Things God Works for the Good of Those Who Love Him

A prayer for today:

Dear Almighty God, we know in our minds, intellectually, that You have everything in hand.  Let us feel that in our hearts when everything around us seems to be spinning out of control.  We see the news and fear creeps in. Questions arise - "what will happen tomorrow?  Next week?  This new year?"   Only You have those answers.  Firmly establish Romans 8:28 in us so that we may live with Your joy residing in our souls.  'And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to His purpose.'

Give us the courage to make plans for the future, knowing that You will give us wisdom and discernment as we do so.  Give us the ability to be flexible if needed and an essence of peacefulness to those around us.  Let us bank on Your promises and experience them as hope, which overflows in our hearts by the power of Your Spirit.  Hope keeps us moving forward, focused on the life You want us to live.   Grant us the grace to follow Your lead and to remain steadfast in Your love, fully assured that the plan for our lives is perfect for us.

In Your Son's precious name,

Amen
