There is one verse of a poem by Robert Burns which goes,' The best laid plans of mice and men, Gang aft agley'. The ending is written in a Scottish dialect, what the poet is saying,' No matter how well you plan ,there is no guarantee of success'. I have always followed what Proverbs 3 v 6 teaches ,'In all your ways, acknowledge Him , and He shall direct your paths.' I wonder how many Christians do this. Yet it is the clear teaching of scripture, we may not have given it much thought ,sometimes when faced with something major, we may pray. We may feel that the normal everyday happenings, are not important to pray about, yet how do we know ,but that the the ordinary, may turn out to be very important. We may think that God is to busy to be be bothered with these apparent insignificant things, but not so, in thinking like this, we are bringing God to our level. No let us obey the clear instructions given to us in this verse. As another scripture instructs us to be not wise in our own eyes (Prov 3 v 7 ), let us lean not on our own understanding. God loves to be consulted, so let us to do just that, consult Him, and as He has promised, He shall direct our paths.
