The 30 Second Prayer

That Changes Everything

Proverbs 16:3Amplified Bible (AMP)

Roll your works upon the Lord [commit and trust them wholly to Him; He will cause your thoughts to become agreeable to His will, and] so shall your plans be established and succeed.

One day as I was reading in Proverbs, I ran across this scriptural promise.  It begins with an instruction—“roll your works upon the Lord [commit and trust them wholly to Him….] “--and ends with this promise:  “He will cause your thoughts to become agreeable to His will….]”  

Think of that! If we commit our plans to the Lord, He will give us His ideas and His instructions. He promises to change our thoughts so they agree with His best for us. It is then that our plans will be established and we will experience success.  When I spent some time thinking on these words, it became evident to me that there was something that I could do on purpose to experience success in my plans.

We all could probably use more success in our lives and if there is something we could do on purpose to receive it, perhaps we will want to consider the power in this promise.

Prayer Focus:

Take some time and think about your plans and what it would take to totally give them to God.  Make a note in a journal of what plan you have committed to Him.  Ask God to cause your thoughts to become agreeable to His will concerning those plans.  Be sure to journal any new ideas that enter your thought process.
