Does it ever feel like your life is a mess of pieces that don’t fit together to make the beautiful picture you hoped? As kids, we all loved to play connect the dots. You grabbed your favorite color from the crayon box and worked those pages with excitement, never quite knowing what the picture would look like in the end. Life is kind of like that. Each part of our life is a dot that God is connecting. You can trust that God’s plan for your life will connect the dots into a beautiful masterpiece just like I trust God’s plan for my life.

What Does the Bible Say About God’s Plan For My Life?
God has a plan. Having God’s perspective on life is the secret to peace. Peace is what we need while we are waiting on God to connect all the dots.
If you are asking, “Does God have a specific plan for my life?” or, “Where does the Bible say God has a plan for my life?”. These are two of my favorite trusting GOd’s plan for my life Bible verses!
“For we are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.” Ephesians 2:10
“He is before all things, and in him all things hold together.” Colossians 1:17 NIV
3 Ways to Be Encouraged as You Wait on the Lord:
God has a plan for your life! The trouble is that His timing is not our timing. Trusting God’s plan for my life requires a bit of waiting. Here are 3 ways you can be encouraged as you wait on the lord to continue connecting the dots in your life.
- Spend time in God’s Word
- Create your life timeline and see how God has been working
- Take the time to reflect on the goodness of God with a thankful heart in prayer.
Spend Time in God’s Word
Create Your Timeline
Create your life timeline and see how God has been working
This is how you create a timeline:
- Draw a line and put two dots at the beginning and end.
- The dots represent your birth and today.
- Next, add dots of important things in your life.
- Each dot will reveal what God has been doing in your past.
Reflect with Thanksgiving
Take the time to reflect on the goodness of God with a thankful heart in prayer.
“give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.” 1 Thessalonians 5:18 NIV
Your Thoughts Matter
“Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things.” Philippians 4:8 NIV
God’s Peace Comes With Practice
“Whatever you have learned or received or heard from me, or seen in me—put it into practice. And the God of peace will be with you.” Philippians 4:9 NIV
Part Two: Align Yourself With God for His Peace
God sees you and knows you by name. He cares about you and will never leave you.
“Notice the way God does things, then fall into line” Ecclesiastes 7:8a
God See’s You
“You intended to harm me, but God intended it for good to accomplish what is now being done, the saving of many lives.” (Genesis 50:20 NIV
