God’s plans are better

From 40 Days of Prayer and Fasting Guide

Read

Haggai 2:1-9

Call to Prayer

It’s easy to be discouraged when expectations aren’t met or things don’t go the way we planned. Unmet expectations are no match for God’s goodness. In Haggai 2:1-9, God encourages His people to not be dejected when the present isn’t like the past. 

As you bring your unmet expectations to Lord, may you hear your Father’s voice and trust that His plans are better than ours. God is good and faithful to encourage us in our disappointment and remind us that He is working to make all things beautiful in time (Ecclesiastes 3:11).
