Praying from 2 Corinthians 1:17. Themes: Integrity, Planning, Fleshly Desires.

Dear Lord, as I plan for my future, I pray that I do not show fickleness. Help me to plan according to your will and not according to my fleshly desires. May my plans be guided by your wisdom and may I have the courage to say “Yes” to what aligns with your purpose and “No” to what does not. Amen.

Verse: When I therefore planned this, did I show fickleness? Or the things that I plan, do I plan according to the flesh, that with me there should be the “Yes, yes” and the “No, no?”
2 Corinthians 1:17

This is a Command. The verse is commanding the reader to not be fickle in their plans and to plan according to the spirit, not the flesh.
