Change of plans. Those three words can strike fear and frustration into the hearts of many. It's that unexpected twist in the road, the deviation from the carefully laid-out path, that can leave us feeling disoriented and unsettled. And lately, it seems like change of plans has become a constant companion in my life, testing my ability to adapt and throwing me off balance.
I have always been someone who thrives on routine and predictability. I find comfort in knowing what to expect and having a clear plan in place. But life has a funny way of throwing curveballs when we least expect them. Whether it's a sudden shift in work assignments, a change in travel plans, or even a personal matter that requires flexibility, change has become a constant presence in my life.
To say that I dislike change of plans would be an understatement. It feels like a disruption to the carefully constructed order of my life, leaving me feeling unsteady and unsure of what lies ahead. It's a struggle to let go of the control I so desperately crave and embrace the uncertainty that change brings.
However, amidst the chaos and disorientation, I have found solace in prayer and faith in God. Turning to prayer, I seek guidance and strength to navigate through the unexpected twists and turns. I find comfort in knowing that God has a plan for me, even if it deviates from my own.
Through prayer, I am reminded of the importance of surrendering to God's will. It's not always easy, but I am learning to trust that His plans are far greater than my own. I am reminded of the verse from Proverbs 3:5-6, "Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight."
Flexibility is a skill I am cultivating as I navigate the ever-changing landscape of life. It's about embracing the unknown, adapting to new circumstances, and finding the beauty in the unexpected. It's a continuous journey of growth and learning to let go of my own expectations and surrender to what God has in store for me.
And in this surrender, I have found that God's plan often exceeds my own limited vision. He has a way of guiding me towards opportunities and experiences that I never would have imagined for myself. It's in those moments of uncertainty and change that I discover new strengths, develop resilience, and deepen my faith.
So, as I continue to grapple with the discomfort of change of plans, I hold onto my faith and trust in God's guiding hand. I remind myself that it's in the moments of disorientation that growth happens. And through prayer and flexing to do God's will, I am finding peace and purpose in the midst of life's unexpected twists and turns.
