Summary
Today we’ll be discussing the plans we make for our lives. So often, our plans symbolize control. Giving up control of our life’s direction can be scary and feel unsafe. But this is all part of growing in trust of our heavenly Father. As we continue in that direction today, may you feel encouraged and motivated to place your plans in the hands of a capable, trustworthy Father who has your best interest in mind, always.
Our Scripture for today comes from Proverbs 19:21, and today's worship is Whatever Your Plan Is by Bethel Music feat. Josie Buchanan.

Thanks so much for listening to today’s podcast on trusting God with your plans.
If in meeting with God today you realized a real struggle with trusting God with your plans, try picking one plan you have today and trusting him with it. Lay that plan down before it happens today, and ask him to guide you into the fullness of what he has for it. And pay attention to any ways it changes.
I hope God gives you a clearer sense of how you can trust him throughout your day today. May God bless you as you seek him.
