This new year, 2025, has brought a trend of colorful vision boards and trendy planning methods, but as Christians, there’s a higher calling. Beyond crafting goals and dreams, we’re invited to surrender our plans to God and let Him take the lead.
Proverbs 16:3 says, “Commit to the Lord whatever you do, and He will establish your plans.” This isn’t just a suggestion; it’s a promise. When we align our desires with His purpose, we find clarity, peace, and success beyond what we could imagine.
Why God-Centered Planning Works
Let’s face it: making plans without involving God can lead to burnout and frustration. But when you trust Him with your year, it’s not just about achieving goals—it’s about walking in His will. Planning with God brings balance, wisdom, and the assurance that His timing is perfect.
Simple Steps to Get Started
- Pray First: Before you set goals, spend time in prayer. Let Him guide you.
- Write with Intention: Jot down goals that honor God, like “serve more” or “trust Him in my career.”
- Add Scripture: Use verses like Jeremiah 29:11 to anchor your plans.
- Let Go: Each day, surrender your to-do list to Him, trusting His direction.
A New Kind of Vision
Vision boards are great, but let’s make them faith-focused. Add scriptures and spiritual goals alongside your dreams. It’s not just about what you want but about what He’s leading you toward.
This year, don’t just plan, pray. Let’s move beyond trends and embrace God’s vision for 2025. Trust Him to lead, and watch how He turns your plans into something greater.
