A Nightly Surrender of Your Timeline to God | Your Nightly Prayer
Amber Ginter
iBelieve Contributing WriterIn this evening's prayer and devotional, Amber Ginter reflects on the plan she made at sixteen—a detailed, color-coded blueprint of her future that included a veterinary career, early marriage, and a picture-perfect life. But God had a different story in mind. Ecclesiastes 3:1 reminds us that there is a season for everything under heaven. It’s not our job to control the outcome—it's our job to surrender and trust the One who already sees the end from the beginning. When life unfolds differently than expected, it isn’t failure—it’s faith in motion. Amber’s story echoes what many of us have experienced: plans that fall apart, dreams that shift, and paths we never saw coming. But even in the detours, God's timing is perfect. And His plans? They're always better than our own. Tonight’s Scripture: Ecclesiastes 3:1 (NIV) “There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under the heavens.” 🔗 Read Ecclesiastes 3:1 at BibleStudyTools.com 🙏 Your Nightly Prayer Dear Jesus, You know how much I wrestle to surrender my plans and dreams to You. When I struggle to let go, remind me that Your way is always better. Show me how to release my grip and open my hands to whatever You have in store for me. Help me trust that You are in control, and I don’t need to be. I trust, love, and praise You, Lord. Amen.
