Here is a good conversation to have with yourself when you find yourself using God as an excuse not to get started on something you know you need to do.
Ready? Here goes…
“I need to _____”
“NO maybe not. I should pray about this more… But I already did…”
That my friend sound like you might be pray-crastinatin’ to me!
Ask your self 3 questions
1) would it bring God Glory?
2) would it bring people good?
3) Would it be a blessing to me?
If the answer is yes to all three… You generally don’t need to ask God CAN you do it. Neither should you ask God HOW to do it. Instead, you should begin looking for a strategy on how to get started.
Strategy looks at the goal, evaluates the options, considers the prevailing circumstances and then charts a course after the dream you have captured in your heart.
Here is an APB—GOD does not give STRATEGY. God usually gives us instructions, those finished results. It is up to us to get a strategy most of the time. Strategy is a faith WORD. BY FAITH—YOU HAVE TO start working on it—SO TAKE ACTION. Do something! Do research, make a phone call, go online and read. Have a meeting with someone already doing what you are trying to do or at least get as close to it as possible.
Another thing, ASK FOR HELP! YOU know 3 people RIGHT NOW WHO CAN HELP YOU TAKE THE FIRST STEP! CALL THEM IN THE NEXT 24 HOURS AND ASK FOR HELP! God will speak to you through them…
watch! GO FOR IT MY FRIEND AND STOP PRAY-CRASTINATIN’!
