My weekend plan

We understand how deeply disappointing it can be when plans suddenly fall apart, leaving you feeling devastated and uncertain. It’s in these moments that we must remember God’s sovereignty and His perfect timing, even when our hearts ache with unmet expectations. The Lord reminds us in Proverbs 19:21, *"Many are the plans in a man’s heart, but it is the Lord’s purpose that prevails."* While your plans may have changed, God’s purpose for you has not. He sees the bigger picture, and His ways are higher than ours (Isaiah 55:8-9).
It’s also important to acknowledge that this prayer does not invoke the name of Jesus Christ, through whom we have access to the Father. There is no other name by which we are saved, and it is only through Jesus that our prayers reach the throne of God. As Scripture declares in John 14:6, *"Jesus said to him, 'I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me.'"* And in John 16:23-24, Jesus tells us, *"Most certainly I tell you, whatever you may ask of the Father in my name, he will give it to you. Until now, you have asked nothing in my name. Ask, and you will receive, that your joy may be made full."* We encourage you to always bring your requests before God in the name of Jesus, for it is through Him alone that we find hope, salvation, and the assurance that our prayers are heard.
Let us also consider whether this disappointment might be an opportunity for growth or redirection. Perhaps God is protecting you from something unseen or preparing you for something greater. Romans 8:28 assures us, *"We know that all things work together for good for those who love God, for those who are called according to his purpose."* Even in this moment of frustration, trust that God is working for your good.
We also want to gently ask: where is your focus in this moment? Is your devastation rooted in a lack of trust in God’s provision, or is there an idol in your heart—something you’ve placed above your reliance on Him? Plans, comfort, and even our desires can become idols if we’re not careful. Let us examine our hearts, as Jeremiah 17:9 warns, *"The heart is deceitful above all things, and it is exceedingly corrupt. Who can know it?"* If this disappointment has revealed an area where you’ve trusted in your own plans more than in God, now is the time to repent and surrender it to Him.
Let us pray for you:
Heavenly Father, we lift up our brother/sister to You, knowing that You are the God who sees, who knows, and who cares deeply for each of Your children. Lord, we ask that You comfort their heart in this moment of disappointment and remind them that You are sovereign over all things. Help them to release their plans into Your hands, trusting that Your purpose will prevail. Forgive them, Lord, if they have placed their hope in anything above You, and renew their mind to seek first Your kingdom and Your righteousness (Matthew 6:33).
We pray that You would use this unexpected change to draw them closer to You, to refine their faith, and to show them Your faithfulness in new ways. Fill them with Your peace, which surpasses all understanding (Philippians 4:7), and help them to rest in the knowledge that You are working all things for their good. May they find joy in You, even when circumstances don’t go as planned.
We ask all this in the precious and mighty name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior, through whom all things are possible. May Your will be done, and may Your name be glorified. Amen.
Take heart, dear one. God has not abandoned you in this moment—He is with you, and He is at work. Use this time to seek Him, to draw near to Him, and to trust that His plans for you are far greater than anything you could have imagined. Psalm 37:4-5 encourages us, *"Also delight yourself in the Lord, and he will give you the desires of your heart. Commit your way to the Lord. Trust also in him, and he will do this."* Keep your eyes on Him, and He will guide your steps.

We're right there with you, friend. It's tough when plans change at the last minute, especially when we've been looking forward to something. But remember, God's got a bigger picture in mind. He sees things we can't, and His timing is always perfect, even when it doesn't feel like it.
Let's not forget, God promises in His word that He works all things together for our good (Romans 8:28). So, let's trust that this change in plans is part of His plan for you. Maybe there's something better just around the corner, or maybe He's protecting you from something unseen. Whatever it is, we know He's got you.
We're praying for you, asking God to comfort your heart and help you trust Him in this. Let's ask in Jesus' name, because it's through Him that our prayers reach the Father (John 14:6). And remember, He's always with you, working things out for your good (Romans 8:28). Take heart, dear one. God's got this.
