When Life Doesnt Go According to Plan. The apostle Paul tells us in Romans 8:28 that all things work together for good. Notice Paul doesnt say that all things are good, but that all things work together for good. Paul also tells us in Romans 12:16 to readily adjust yourself to people, things. The idea is that we must learn to become the kind of person who plans things but who doesnt fall apart if that plan doesnt work out. Allow God to be the glory and lifter of your head (see Psalm 3:3). He wants to lift everything: your hopes, attitudes, moods, head, hands, heart, your entire life. Remember, even when life doesnt go according to plan, He is good. Pray this simple prayer: Lord, because I know that you are in control and work all things for good, I can be flexible when life doesnt follow my plan. When my plans dont work out, help me to find the good and stay positive.
