Are You Asking God to Follow YOUR Plans? Ask What HE’S Doing Instead

She Lives Purposefully

Show Notes

Maybe you have dreams, goals, prayers, and plans you're working hard toward. You're asking God to bless them, open doors, and make them successful... but have you stopped to ask what He is doing?

Today, we're talking about what it looks like to surrender our plans (sometimes without giving up on the dreams God has placed in our hearts).

Here’s your invitation to pause, reflect, and re-center before taking our next steps.

I’ve been reminded by God to bring every area of my life before God—not just asking Him to bless my desires, but praying:

"Lord, if this isn't what You have for me, change my heart. Show me what You want, and I'll follow."

If you've been feeling uncertain about what's next, wrestling with unanswered prayers, or simply wanting to make sure you're walking where God is leading, I hope this conversation encourages you to slow down and seek His heart before your own agenda.

You know the sin you need to let go of. You know the step of faith you’ve been putting off. You know you should forgive, give, pray, share the gospel, change direction, or finally surrender that thing you’ve been trying to control.
