"Do not give God ready-made plans for Him to bless." (H. Mears)
We often want God to bless our own will. We think we've got it all figured out, and if God would just go along with our plans, everything would be perfect. I know it sounds ridiculously foolish, but don't act like you've never done it!
I think we do this without truly realizing it. We pray and ask God for His guidance, and for His will to be done in our lives, all while our subconcious is planning away without waiting on God.
The hardest part for us to wrap our minds around is that God's plans will be better than anything we could have conjured up ourselves. However, the fear of the unknown is what prevents us from diving head-first into God's will and trusting Him completely.
Ephesians 5:17 says, "Wherefore be ye not unwise, but understanding what the will of the Lord is."
Let's seek the Lord and His will. Our plans stink compared to God's plans. The devil wants us to be nervous to trust God's plans ---- simply because we will miss out on all the blessings and joy that comes with being obedient to God's will.
