Proverbs 16:8-9
Better a little with righteousness than a large income without justice. A person’s heart plans his way, but the Lord makes his steps secure.
Dear Heavenly Father,
Not only do You give us the promise of salvation in Your Word, but also wonderful promises to be with us in our plans. We can easily become distracted by the desires of the world, seeking to acquire more simply for the sake of having more. Forgive us when we focus only on ourselves, and we ask that You bless our efforts to share the good news of salvation with those who do not know You. We hold You to keep Your Word in this Proverb: that, while our hearts plan our way, You will make our steps secure.
Please bless our efforts to share Your love and mercy with those around us. We pray that You would provide each of us with what we need to share the gospel with those who need to hear Your Word. Your salvation plan is essential to share with those who do not know You because without faith, they will not gain eternal life. We ask that You guide our steps, and we pray You bless us with what we need to bring the good news of peace, hope, joy, and Your mercy to those who do not know You.
Thank you for securing our steps against the attacks of Satan, as he will try to stop the spread of the gospel. We give You thanks for this because we know every time he tries to stop us, we are doing Your will. So we pray for Your continued blessing in sharing this wonderful message about Your love: how You sent Your Son to redeem us, and to provide us with the forgiveness that came from His innocent suffering and death on the cross. Grant us the means to share this message, and willing hearts to hear this good news. Amen.

Know that God is with you in your plans; he blesses those plans that need to be blessed and diverts those that need a new direction. Know that God’s greater good is for you to be with him in heaven, and all your plans he guides accordingly.
