Joanne0326, I am praying for you
Father, we pray for friend's parent to be healed from a terminal illness and for the friend to stay home to take care of this parent so they can have good care given to them during this time of recovery. AMEN!
Man has a plan God has a purpose for your friend's life. A major part of the reason that God’s plan is far better than ours is that He can see the future and we cannot. So wouldn’t you want to trust God’s plan for your nd's life over your own plan? That’s a no-brainer, isn’t it ? --?His Ways are higher than ours. Our plans often blow up in our face, but “the plans of the LORD stand firm forever” (Psalm 33:11) We Plan, He Directs We might think we’re in charge of where we’re going, but the Word of God says, “The heart of man plans his way, but the LORD establishes his steps” (Prov. 16:9), and “many are the plans in a person’s heart, but it is the LORD’s purpose that prevails” (Prov. 19:21). You think you are putting forth your own steps for the future, but “a person’s steps are directed by the LORD” (Prov. 20:24), whether you know it or not. Even Jeremiah understood that people’s lives are not their own; it is not for them to direct their steps (Jer. 10:23). In the Name above all other names may He richly bless you for praying ThyWill Be Done for your friend. Amen
