Day 8 - Planned for God's Pleasure

"Place In This World"

There are millions who go through life feeling alone, asking, "Where do I belong?"

This classic song by Michael W. Smith reminds us that we need God's light to find our place in this world.

Looking for a reason
Roaming through the night to find
My place in this world

Not a lot to lean on
I need your light to help me find
My place in this world
