Help! I’ve messed up God’s Plan for my life! Many of us worry about this! What if I have accidentally altered God’s plan for my life? We may fear that we have veered off course somewhere and now we are stuck in plan B or C or D... When we make decisions with a pure heart, we can trust that God won’t let us miss his purpose for our life. He is fully capable of redirecting our footsteps and putting us on the right path. Be encouraged! Jeremiah 29:11 Pastor Liz Green.
