We need to &#8220;pray continually&#8221; (1 Thess. 5:17) throughout the entire process. As we <a href=\"https:\/\/trainchurchleaders.com\/prayer-power.htm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">devote ourselves to prayer<\/a> (Col. 4:2) each step of the way, we&#8217;re acknowledging that this is His Church, not ours. It&#8217;s about following His purposes, not pursuing our own interests.<\/p>\n<h2>Praying prepares our heart for the planning process.<\/h2>\n<ul style=\"list-style-type: square;\">\n<li>Prayer leads us to the right priorities as it focuses our hearts on that which counts for eternity. (Matt. 6:33; Col. 3:1-2)<\/li>\n<li>As we pray, God, who searches the heart, will reveal if our motivations or attitudes are off, which can skew the plans we make. (Ps. 139:23-24; Prov. 16:1-3)<\/li>\n<li>Praying about our planning efforts tends to bring about the right attitudes and perspective we need even when it gets stressful or difficult. (Phil. 4:6-7)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Prayer helps us align our plans with His plans.<\/h2>\n<ul style=\"list-style-type: square;\">\n<li>Through prayer, we align with God and His ways rather than that of the world or the latest fad. (Ps. 25:4-5; Rom. 12:1-20)<\/li>\n<li>As we acknowledge God in all our ways, trusting Him, He gets us on the right path. (Prov. 3:5-6)<\/li>\n<li>When we pray, God not only shows us His will but also provides for it to happen, going before us and opening doors. (Prov. 16:3; Col. 4:3-4; 1 Jn. 5:14-15)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Devotion to prayer takes our strategic planning where we wouldn&#8217;t tend to arrive on our own.<\/h2>\n<ul style=\"list-style-type: square;\">\n<li>Praying helps us make the most of every opportunity as we receive the wisdom He promises to those who ask. (Eph. 5:15-17; Col. 4:2-5; James 1:5)<\/li>\n<li>We arrive at what&#8217;s best when we look to God since His thoughts and ways are higher and better than ours&#8217;s.
