Heavenly Father,
You know every decision that needs to be made and every challenge to be faced
forgive for the times we try to figure things out on our own …
we need YOU – we Need YOUR Holy Spirit to give Strength – Wisdom – Direction
Not our will but YOUR WILL BE DONE ……
‘For I know the plans I have for you,’ declares the Lord, ‘plans to prosper you
and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. Then you will call on
me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you.’ Jeremiah 29:11-12
