Proverbs 16:9 The
heart of man plans his way, but the Lord establishes his steps.
2 Chronicles 20:6
O Lord, God of our fathers, are you not God in heaven? You rule over all
the kingdoms of the nations. In your hand are power and might, so that none is
able to withstand you.
Proverbs 19:21 Many
are the plans in a person's heart, but it is the LORD's purpose that prevails.
Proverbs 20:24 A person's steps are directed by the LORD. How then can anyone understand their own way?

You cannot control the weather. You are not in charge
of the economy. You can’t un-wreck the car. But you can map out a
strategy. Remember, God is in this crisis. Ask God to give you two or
three steps you can take today. Seek counsel from someone who has faced a
similar challenge. Ask friends to pray. Reach out to a support
group. Most importantly, make a plan.
You’d prefer a miracle for your crisis? You’d rather
see the bread multiplied or the stormy sea turned glassy calm in a finger
snap? God may do this. Then again, He may say, “I am with you. I can
use this for good. Now let’s make a plan.” God’s sovereignty does not negate
our responsibility. It empowers it. Don’t let the crisis paralyze
you. Trust God to do what you cannot. Obey God, and do what you can.
