Beloved, do not be troubled when life does not go as you had hoped. Do not let disappointment take root in your heart. The Lord is faithful. Trust God’s plan, He is not confused, nor is He caught off guard. What you see as delay, He sees as preparation. What you call failure, He calls foundation.
Lift your eyes to Him. Trust God’s plan and that He is working, even now, in ways beyond your understanding.
“O LORD, You are my God; I will exalt You, I will praise Your name, for You have done wonderful things, even purposes planned of old [and fulfilled] in faithfulness and truth.” — Isaiah 25:1 (AMP)
Do you see it? His plans were set in motion long before you were born. Nothing is wasted. Nothing is forgotten. Every trial, every unanswered prayer, every path that led somewhere unexpected—it is all in His hands. Trust God’s plan in these moments.
His Ways Are Higher
You make plans. You set goals. You dream of how things should unfold. But when the path takes a turn you did not expect, do you still trust Him? Trust God’s plan even when it seems unclear.
“For My thoughts are not your thoughts, nor are your ways My ways,” declares the LORD. “For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are My ways higher than your ways and My thoughts higher than your thoughts.” — Isaiah 55:8-9 (NASB)
You do not see what He sees. He is not leading you into ruin—He is leading you into something greater. Do not lean on your own understanding, for it will fail you. Instead, lean on Him. Acknowledge Him in all your ways, and He will make your path straight. (Proverbs 3:5-6) Remember to trust God’s plan through it all.
What feels like a delay is not a denial. What seems lost is not forgotten. The seed has been planted, but only God makes it grow. Trust God’s plan as He nurtures what He has started.
The Seed Is in the Ground—Trust the One Who Gives the Harvest
You have prayed. You have sown. You have watered with tears. And now you wait.
“So then neither the one who plants nor the one who waters is anything, but God who causes the growth.” — 1 Corinthians 3:7 (NASB)
Listen to me—God is not idle. The seed is buried, but it is not dead. In the perfect time, it will rise. It is not for you to force the growth, nor for you to determine the season of harvest. That belongs to the Lord alone.
Do not become weary. Do not let impatience turn into despair. The season will come, and you will reap if you do not give up. (Galatians 6:9)
God’s Plan Is Good—Even When You Cannot See It
You may not understand now. That is why you must trust. Trust God’s plan even when the way forward is hidden.
“For I know the plans that I have for you,’ declares the LORD, ‘plans for welfare and not for calamity, to give you a future and a hope.” — Jeremiah 29:11 (NASB)
Does God lie? No. Does He forget His promises? Never. If He has spoken it, He will fulfill it. What He begins, He completes. (Philippians 1:6)
So stand firm. Do not let your heart waver. Praise Him now, even before you see the answer. For He is faithful, and His plans will not fail. Trust God’s plan and know that His timing is perfect.
Prayer
Father, I surrender to You. I release my need to control, my desire to understand, and my fear of the unknown. I trust You. Even when I cannot see, even when I do not understand, I believe that You are working.
The seed has been planted. It is in Your hands. Grow it in Your perfect time. And whether I am the sower or the reaper, let me never forget—You alone make things grow.
I praise You now, before the harvest comes, for I know Your plans are good. In Yeshua’s name, Amen.
