Things are not the way I Planned!

Jeremiah 29 v11-14 NLT

V11"For I know the plans I have for you,"says the Lord," they are plans for good  not disaster to give you a future and a hope."
V12"In those days when you pray I will listen."
V13 " If you look for me wholeheartedly you will find me."
V14 "I will be found by you ,says the Lord,"I will end your captivity and restore your fortunes .I will gather you out of the nations where I sent you and will bring you home again to your own land."

Love these verses they have been my main stay for many months now. There are so many promise I can cling to and know It will be OK. Things may not be what I have foreseen or planned,but, God knew and He is doing everything for my good not to  harm,but give me a future and a hope! He promise to listen when I pray! If I look wholeheartedly I will find Him. Sometime I wallow more in self pity then look for Him at all let alone wholeheartedly. Then if all that is not enough our blessed Savior says He will restore us!   

So though things may not be at all the way I planned I have to be open to what God has for me . Because my Lord has a plan for me much better than mine . He wants to prosper me and give me a hope and a future and He can see way ahead of me.

I once read "Goals (plans) are not ment to be a plump line to determine the shortest distance to success,but rather a compass to give a sense of direction."  I need to remember I have to fit myself into Gods vision,not fit God into my vision!
