Your Life Plan

Who is calling the shots in your life?

I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service. And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God. Roamans 12:1-2

Heavenly Father, I know I’m bought with a price, and I am not my own. I surrender to Your plan for my life. Help me not to succumb to the pressures of others and their plans for me, but to follow You no matter what. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.
