The Bible shows us in so many places and says in so many ways, that God does have a plan for your life - For you and for your family. As much as He loves you and as much as He wants you to follow after His plans for your life, He will not force you to follow after Him, He just waits for you to accept His life's plan for you, His abundance, and His blessings, there is so much more God has in store for you than you can ever imagine, you just need to be willing to accept His will and follow after Him, after His Son.
There is a rather large question you and your family must ask yourselves, "Do you have plans for your life, if so, do your plans for your life, match up at all with the plans God has for you and your family?" As a child of God, He says in His word, "He that saith he abideth in Him ought himself also so to walk even as He walked." I John 2:6 so if we are saying we believe in Christ, and we are living for Him, then the more you are growing in God's love, the more you should be matching up your plans, your will, and your life after God's plans for your life.
"Furthermore then we beseech you, brethren, and exhort you by the Lord Jesus, that as ye have received of us how ye ought to walk and to please God, so ye would abound more and more." I Thes. 4:1
When you are feeling confused, lost on your present circumstances, your life, and the concerns of your future, you should encourage yourself, as David did, and begin and lift those concerns to God, you can go to Him and ask Him about His plans, about your dreams, goals and plans, ask Him to guide you and show you if your plans and dreams are in line with His, and if not to show you His will for your life. The more closely you can walk with God's plans, the more you will be able to feel His presence in your life.
Your family most certainly has concerns about your present circumstances, and how you should be living your life and you should encourage your family to seek God in prayer, through reading His word, and waiting upon the Lord to talk to Him about your plans and His plans for Your lives, about the dreams and goals your family has, as a whole and on individual levels. As you are making plans for your future, God should be included in those plans, He is the only one who can see your future and what is in store for your family, and He should be consulted when planning the future for any and all of you. Asking God to guide your steps, for you and your family is the least that you can do to the God and creator of your lives.
Remember for everything you do, that God has plans for you, He wants to and intends to use you as His child, it is up to you to accept His plans, follow after Him and seek after His will for your life. Encourage your children, your spouse, and other family members to seek Him in all they do, they will find the answers are closer to them than they think. When you find His plans for your life, you will see that the value you place on your life will be much greater than you can ever imagine. What about you? Are you ready to seek Him for the plans He has for your life? Go For It!
