Chris.
We may make many plans but the Lord’s Purpose will prevail. Sometimes we pray that the Lord will help us make plans, especially for very important things like our family’s future and our ministry. We go ahead with those plans and then they do not work out. It is at times like that when we need to pray more so that the Lord’s Purposes will prevail in our lives.
