Are you becoming like VW, thinking that God doesn't know what's going to happen?
At the beginning of the year when I started volunteering at church while praying over what I was to do the care leader asked me what else I was going to do and I said my hospital chaplaincy. Her response was along the lines of "I think you'll be doing something else".
Eleven deaths and a MIL who needs someone there after breaking her pelvis later I agree I'm doing something else.
Many plans are in a man's heart, But the counsel of the LORD will stand. (Prov 19)

Your verse is telling me that if I follow the Lord's counsel then I will prevail, what is your point ?

I'm saying it in this light:
"There are many thoughts in the heart of a man: but the will of the Lord shall stand firm". See https://www.biblegateway.com/verse/e...erbs%2019%3A21 for lots of rendering of the verse.

Nope, follow the link. 35 of the 50 translations read this way.
The word translated means: advice; by implication, plan; also prudence :— advice, advisement, counsel(-lor), purpose.

So when I take God's advice instead of my own plans then that course of action will prevail. Your point ?
