How to Plan for Success - Life Is Easier When You Know Where You Are Goingಮಾದರಿ
2. Start with Prayer
Probably most of us have heard at some point that God has a plan for our lives. Usually, we get excited about it, but then later we might start to wonder how His plan is going to take place. Jesus had a plan to fulfill when He was on earth. But He knew that He needed a team to take His message further for when He would leave the earth.
So notice that Jesus didn't pick His disciples at random, nor were any of them chosen by accident. Instead, He spent the night praying before He chose them because He knew how significant they would be to fulfilling His plan.
Sometimes you might feel you don't have time to plan because of everything that is happening in your life. But when you realize that the time you spend on planning will help save you so much time and energy later because you know where you are going and how to get there, it is so helpful and worth the time.
We need to take time and space for prayer, just like Jesus did to find the right perspective about our lives - God's perspective. Today the world will throw so many ideas at us about goals we should have and how to plan our lives. Some of these ideas might even seem good, but they are not ours. They might feel right, but deep inside, you know there is something else you should be doing in life. That's because there is a God-given destiny, and until we find where God wants to take us, we won't be able to experience the fullness of life.

About this Plan
Sometimes we wonder why our lives seem to lack direction. Often we feel that we spend most of our time reacting to circumstances that life brings us, but the most common reason is usually a lack of planning. However, the Bible teaches us very valuable and practical lessons about how to find the right direction and effectively go through life making the most of what God has entrusted us with.
