Jeremiah 29: God's Plans
--------
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.
You will seek me and find me
when you seek me with all your heart.
I will be found by you, declares the Lord

I think God did a pretty good job running the universe for the first few bajillion years or so.
But now that I am here, l have several excellent suggestions to improve the cosmos.
Chiggers, for example.
We don't need them.
In fact, I have a lot of ideas that would make things better.
God just needs to follow my plan.
Don't laugh.
Most of the time, when we pray we are really telling God what we want him to do.
We want God to follow our plans.
Can you believe it?
The one who created the cosmos still thinks he has a plan.
In fact, God thinks His plan is BETTER than ours!
Not only that, God believes His plan can prosper us.
In God's plan, we will be stronger.
We will be healed.
It all starts when we come to God and pray--
and when we LISTEN.
Then we will find God, and we will prosper.
Can you believe it?
--------
Yes, Lord, I believe in your plan--
Help my unbelief.
