Hey girl! Today, let’s talk about the beautiful journey of accepting the plan God has for us. Sometimes, we get so caught up in our own plans that we forget to seek and accept God’s perfect plan. But trust me, His plan is always better!
The Struggle with Our Own Plans
We all have dreams and aspirations. We ask God to bless our plans, hoping they align with His will. But often, we find it hard to let go of our desires and fully trust in God’s plan. Proverbs 16:9 tells us, “In their hearts humans plan their course, but the Lord establishes their steps.” This verse reminds us that while we make plans, it’s God who directs our paths.

Transformation through Acceptance
Accepting God’s plan can be transformative. When I surrendered my plans and embraced His, I found a deeper sense of peace and purpose. We don’t need to be searching for hours on end… Most of the time, God has communicated his plan for us but we have not listened yet. We have not submitted to his glorious vision
Learning from Our Blessed Mother Mary
One of the best examples of humility and acceptance is Mary, the mother of Jesus. When the angel Gabriel told her about God’s plan for her to bear the Savior, she humbly accepted, saying, “I am the Lord’s servant. May your word to me be fulfilled” (Luke 1:38). Mary’s faith and obedience are powerful reminders of how we should respond to God’s plan. Click here to learn more on how Mother Mary can help guide you to peace through her humility and submission
