Proverbs says, “The heart of a man plans his way, but the Lord directs his steps.”

Bryan Fischer here, with an excerpt from the Boy To Man Book, for fathers to read with their 12-year-old sons. “The best answer to prayer I have gotten from God is “No.” He’s the only one who knows the end from the beginning, and when His answer is “No,” either He is protecting me from something or saving me for something better. I’ve also learned that the worst things that have ever happened to me are the best things that have ever happened to me. God was using the heartache and anguish and disappointment of each painful thing to prepare me for an important and beneficial change in my life. He will do the same for you. Many are the plans in the mind of a man, but it is the purpose of the Lord that will stand.’”
