A Prayer about God’s Purpose and Plan

Lord,

It’s so humbling as I make plans for the week 

to meditate on your eternal purpose and plan:

Many of us make plans throughout our lives; 

many of us live with purpose; 

but not only have you made a plan, 

you’ve already “realized” that plan 

in Christ Jesus. 

Your purpose was to reconcile fallen sinners 

with your holy self 

through the death and resurrection of Jesus. 

Your plan now is 

to make known this good news 

to people from every tribe, tongue, and nation. 

Your plan is to create a new humanity, 

people who love and worship Christ the King 

so fully that we love and care for one another faultlessly. 

You have already realized this plan in Jesus, 

and one day, we will see its completion.

Thank you for this good news as we begin our week.

In Jesus’ name.
