How to Make a Plan and Follow Through
What’s the craziest or hardest or funniest thing you’ve ever done in pursuit of a vision?
What stood out to you most from the message?
What’s your “messy middle” (the gap between your vision becoming a reality) look like right now? Are you willing to face the reality of that mess?
Where have you seen the benefits of planning in your life?
In what area(s) of your life do you suffer from the lack of a plan? What are some obstacles (either internal or external) that make it difficult for you to make or carry out a plan?
How do your plans build up (or tear down) the relationships in your life?
Read Nehemiah 2:17-18. What would a God-inspired plan for your life look like?
What’s one way you can take a step towards planning a way through your “messy middle” this week?
Let’s end with prayer. You can say something like, “God, thank you for letting us be a part of building your Kingdom. Thank you for not leaving us to plan all alone. Help us hear your direction. Please inspire our plans. Give us your courage and resilience in our pursuit of the plans you give us. Amen.”
No vision will magically come to fruition, and the vision God has for your life needs a plan to make it happen. This year you need a solid plan and the tools to execute it. Come learn how to make that a reality this year.
