The Perfect Vision for Our Lives

Isaiah 35:7

The parched ground will become a pool, and springs of water will satisfy the thirsty land.  Marsh grass and reeds and rushes will flourish where desert jackals once lived.

To have a vision is to see the completed work before it is even started.  Visionaries are able to see the completed work and to devise a plan to reach the desired end.  

God had a vision for each of our lives before we were even born.  He is the only perfect visionary.  He never fails in completing His work.  He always has the perfect plans that come to perfect completion.  He is never in a rush to complete His work - only to perfect His work.  We are His work.

Prayer

Heavenly Father, we thank You for creating us with perfect plans for our lives.  We thank You for Your patience as You take us through life's struggles in order to shape us according to Your perfect plans.  We thank You that Your hand never leaves us as we stray away from Your plans for our lives.  We pray, Father, that You will teach us to humbly accept the trials of our lives which are shaping us for our roles in Your kingdom.  We beseech You for the grace that we may have the patience and persistence needed to allow ourselves to be molded by your plans.  May we bring honor and glory to You, Father, by abandoning the folly of our own plans and choosing Your ways instead of our own.
