Proverbs 16:9 (NLT) We can make our plans, but the LORD determines our steps.
Jeremiah 10:23 (NIV) I know, O LORD, that a man's life is not his own; it is not for man to direct his steps.
May I suggest the 5 Ps of planning:
1. Prayerfully develop the Plan.
2. Practice – try the plan in a small way: look for patterns, changes that need to be made and pray.
3. Ponder. Think about what happened: record it! Write what occurred.
Did the plan anticipate correctly the response?
What changes in behaviors are required to make the plan successful?
Then adjust the plan as needed based on the analysis.
4. Perform – now, roll out the adjusted plan.
4.1 When you do, record the results again; next,
4.2 Analyze them against the plan; then,
5. Evaluate the results and,
5.1 Pray for insight asking, What is God saying and what am I to learn?
Then - repeat the process
- Discuss where in the planning process you find problems.
- What needs to change?
- How will go about changing?
