Jeremiah 29:11 (MSG), I know what I’m doing. I have it all planned out—plans to take care of you, not abandon you, plans to give you the future you hope for.

God has a plan

Everything that is happening now did not catch God by surprise. He has already factored in every detail and aspect of what is going to happen. Please be encourage today because God has a plan! The word “plan” means design intention; therefore, God has design intentions.

God prepares you for the plan

He causes you to be properly postured for what He wants to do and does it from a place of love because He loves you.

God gives you prudence to walk in the plan

Prudence means the ability to make the right decision given all of the circumstances involved.
