“TRUST GOD AND NOT YOUR MINDSET”

Rev. Dr. Roberta M. Heck, Chaplain

There’s something in us that craves control. We love to map out our lives, write the script, and plan every detail. But what if God’s plan for you is so much greater than what your mind can even imagine? What if your best-laid plans are actually holding you back from the abundant life He’s preparing for you?

The truth is you have no idea what God has prepared for you. You see the present moment, He sees the full picture. You see obstacles, He sees opportunities. You see delays, He sees divine timing. That’s why He gently reminds us in His Word to stop striving, stop overthinking, and simply trust Him.

When we let go of our plans, we make room for His. And His plans? They’re not ordinary, they’re extraordinary. They’re filled with purpose, provision, peace, and blessings beyond anything you could orchestrate on your own. So, breathe. Release the need to figure it all out. Gods got it and He’s got you.

“But as it is written: ‘What no eye has seen, what no ear has heard, and what no human mind has conceived’—the things God has prepared for those who love him.” 1 Corinthians 2:9 (NIV)

Father God, please forgive me for the times I’ve clung so tightly to my own plans that I left no room for Yours. I confess that I don’t always understand what You’re doing, but today, I choose to trust You. I believe that what You’ve prepared for me is greater than what I could ever imagine. Help me to surrender my timeline, my expectations, and my fears. Teach me to rest in the assurance that You are working behind the scenes, arranging every detail for my good and Your glory. I may not see it yet, but I trust that it’s coming. In Jesus’ name, Amen and To God Be The Glory!

With warmth and blessings,

Rev. Dr. Roberta M. Heck, Chaplain
