  to

  Welcome
• 1:18
  to
• 1:18
  the

• 1:18
  I'm
• 1:19
  Ralph.
• 1:19
  Thank
• 1:19
  you
• 1:19
  so
• 1:19
  much
• 1:20
  for
• 1:20
  joining
• 1:20
  me
• 1:21
  in
• 1:21
  our
• 1:21
  daily
• 1:21
  adventure
• 1:22
  of
• 1:22
  helping
• 1:22
  you
• 1:22
  break
• 1:23
  that
• 1:23
  cycle
• 1:24
  of
• 1:24
  financial
• 1:24
  shame
• 1:25
  and
• 1:25
  doing
• 1:26
  it
• 1:26
  with
• 1:26
  confidence.
• 1:27
  You
• 1:27
  know,
• 1:27
  a
• 1:27
  listener
• 1:27
  said
• 1:28
  to
• 1:28
  me,
• 1:28
  ralph,
• 1:28
  I
• 1:28
  always
• 1:29
  start
• 1:29
  the
• 1:29
  year
• 1:29
  with
• 1:29
  numbers.
• 1:30
  I've
• 1:30
  got
• 1:30
  those
• 1:31
  savings
• 1:31
  goals,
• 1:32
  I've
• 1:32
  got
• 1:32
  debt
• 1:32
  goals,
• 1:33
  but
• 1:33
  none
• 1:34
  of
• 1:34
  it
• 1:34
  sticks.
• 1:35
  Ralph,
• 1:35
  how
• 1:35
  do
• 1:35
  I
• 1:36
  start
• 1:36
  with
• 1:36
  God's
• 1:36
  vision
• 1:37
  instead
• 1:37
  of
• 1:37
  my
• 1:38
  math?
• 1:39
  It's
• 1:39
  easy
• 1:40
  to
• 1:40
  get
• 1:40
  stuck
• 1:40
  on
• 1:40
  the
• 1:40
  math,
• 1:41
  isn't
• 1:41
  it?
• 1:41
  And
• 1:41
  if
• 1:42
  you've
• 1:42
  ever
• 1:42
  felt
• 1:42
  that
• 1:42
  tension,
• 1:43
  guess
• 1:43
  what?
• 1:44
  You're
• 1:44
  not
• 1:44
  alone
• 1:44
  in
• 1:45
  that.
• 1:45
  Every
• 1:46
  year,
• 1:46
  the
• 1:46
  headlines
• 1:46
  scream
• 1:47
  out
• 1:47
  to
• 1:47
  us,
• 1:47
  Americans
• 1:48
  set
• 1:48
  money
• 1:49
  goals
• 1:49
  without
• 1:49
  clear
• 1:50
  purpose.
• 1:51
  And
• 1:51
  Proverbs
• 1:52
  29:18
• 1:52
  reminds
• 1:53
  us,
• 1:53
  where
• 1:54
  there
• 1:54
  is
• 1:54
  no
• 1:54
  vision,
• 1:55
  the
• 1:55
  people
• 1:56
  perish.
• 1:57
  People
• 1:57
  don't
• 1:57
  fail
• 1:58
  because
• 1:58
  they
• 1:58
  don't
• 1:58
  have
• 1:59
  goals.
• 1:59
  They
• 2:00
  fail
• 2:00
  because
• 2:00
  their
• 2:01
  goals
• 2:01
  lack
• 2:02
  purpose.
• 2:03
  That
• 2:04
  purpose
• 2:05
  creates
• 2:05
  staying
• 2:06
  power.
• 2:06
  And
• 2:07
  for
• 2:07
  over
• 2:07
  30
• 2:07
  years,
• 2:08
  I've
• 2:08
  helped
• 2:08
  people
• 2:08
  just
• 2:09
  like
• 2:09
  you,
• 2:09
  families
• 2:09
  connect
• 2:10
  their
• 2:10
  budget,
• 2:10
  connect
• 2:11
  their
• 2:11
  calling,
• 2:12
  and
• 2:12
  connect
• 2:12
  their
• 2:12
  peace.
• 2:13
  And
• 2:14
  the
• 2:14
  transformations
• 2:14
  I've
• 2:15
  seen
• 2:15
  are
• 2:16
  real.
• 2:17
  And
• 2:17
  when
• 2:17
  vision
• 2:17
  leads
• 2:18
  those
• 2:18
  categories,
• 2:19
  peace
• 2:20
  rises.
• 2:21
  And
• 2:21
  when
• 2:21
  peace
• 2:21
  rises,
• 2:22
  anxiety
• 2:23
  shrinks,
• 2:24
  and
• 2:24
  money
• 2:24
  becomes
• 2:25
  a
• 2:25
  tool
• 2:26
  and
• 2:26
  not
• 2:26
  a
• 2:26
  tyrant.
• 2:27
  I
• 2:27
  never
• 2:27
  forget
• 2:28
  I
• 2:28
  work
• 2:28
  with
• 2:28
  a
• 2:28
  couple
• 2:28
  who
• 2:29
  finally
• 2:29
  asked
• 2:29
  me.
• 2:29
  They
• 2:29
  said,
• 2:30
  ralph,
• 2:30
  what
• 2:30
  does
• 2:31
  God
• 2:31
  want
• 2:31
  from
• 2:31
  our
• 2:32
  money?
• 2:33
  And
• 2:33
  for
• 2:33
  the
• 2:34
  first
• 2:34
  time
• 2:34
  ever,
• 2:34
  they
• 2:35
  set
• 2:35
  a
• 2:35
  giving
• 2:35
  goal
• 2:36
  before
• 2:36
  they
• 2:36
  set
• 2:36
  a
• 2:37
  savings
• 2:37
  goal.
• 2:38
  And
• 2:38
  everything
• 2:38
  else
• 2:39
  aligned
• 2:39
  naturally.
• 2:40
  And
• 2:41
  I'll
• 2:41
  never
• 2:41
  forget,
• 2:41
  they
• 2:41
  called
• 2:41
  me
• 2:41
  back
• 2:42
  and
• 2:42
  they
• 2:42
  said,
• 2:42
  ralph,
• 2:43
  for
• 2:43
  once,
• 2:43
  we
• 2:43
  feel
• 2:44
  led,
• 2:44
  not
• 2:44
  chaste.
• 2:46
  See,
• 2:46
  that's
• 2:46
  the
• 2:46
  power
• 2:46
  of
• 2:47
  beginning
• 2:47
  with
• 2:47
  God's
• 2:48
  vision.
• 2:49
  So
• 2:49
  the
• 2:49
  real
• 2:49
  question
• 2:50
  is
• 2:50
  this.
• 2:51
  What
• 2:51
  does
• 2:51
  it
• 2:51
  actually
• 2:51
  look
• 2:52
  like
• 2:52
  to
• 2:52
  let
• 2:52
  God
• 2:53
  lead
• 2:53
  your
• 2:53
  money?
• 2:54
  But
• 2:54
  bigger
• 2:54
  than
• 2:55
  that,
• 2:55
  how
• 2:55
  do
• 2:55
  you
• 2:56
  stop
• 2:56
  drifting
• 2:56
  and
• 2:57
  start
• 2:57
  listening?
• 2:58
  Let's
• 2:58
  walk
• 2:58
  through
• 2:59
  it.
• 2:59
  I've
• 2:59
  got
• 2:59
  four
• 3:00
  spiritual
• 3:00
  and
• 3:00
  practical
• 3:01
  steps
• 3:01
  that
• 3:02
  you
• 3:02
  can
• 3:02
  take
• 3:02
  today
• 3:02
  to
• 3:03
  lean
• 3:03
  into
• 3:03
  that
• 3:03
  number
• 3:04
  one
• 3:04
  thing.
• 3:04
  Like
• 3:05
  I
• 3:05
  said
• 3:05
  at
• 3:05
  the
• 3:05
  beginning,
• 3:06
  it's
• 3:06
  all
• 3:06
  about
• 3:07
  vision
• 3:07
  before
• 3:08
  numbers.
• 3:09
  See,
• 3:09
  purpose,
• 3:10
  before
• 3:10
  planning
• 3:11
  leads
• 3:11
  to
• 3:11
  grace,
• 3:12
  before
• 3:12
  guilt.
• 3:14
  You
• 3:14
  don't
• 3:14
  start
• 3:14
  with
• 3:15
  a
• 3:15
  spreadsheet.
• 3:15
  A
• 3:15
  lot
• 3:16
  of
• 3:16
  people
• 3:16
  get
• 3:16
  stuck
• 3:16
  there.
• 3:17
  You
• 3:17
  start
• 3:18
  with
• 3:18
  a
• 3:18
  prayer.
• 3:18
  You
• 3:19
  start
• 3:19
  with,
• 3:19
  what
• 3:19
  is
• 3:19
  God's
• 3:20
  vision
• 3:20
  for
• 3:20
  your
• 3:20
  life?
• 3:22
  Because
• 3:22
  God
• 3:22
  will
• 3:22
  give
• 3:23
  you
• 3:23
  direction
• 3:23
  before
• 3:24
  he
• 3:24
  gives
• 3:24
  you
• 3:24
  the
• 3:24
  details
• 3:25
  I
• 3:25
  don't
• 3:25
  know
• 3:25
  how
• 3:25
  many
• 3:26
  times
• 3:26
  in
• 3:26
  my
• 3:26
  life
• 3:27
  God
• 3:27
  has
• 3:27
  said
• 3:27
  to
• 3:28
  me,
• 3:28
  ralph,
• 3:28
  go
• 3:28
  in
• 3:28
  this
• 3:28
  direction.
• 3:30
  But
• 3:30
  he
• 3:30
  hasn't
• 3:30
  given
• 3:30
  me
• 3:31
  the
• 3:31
  details
• 3:31
  to
• 3:31
  do
• 3:31
  it.
• 3:32
  See,
• 3:32
  it's
• 3:32
  that
• 3:32
  vision.
• 3:33
  That
• 3:33
  vision
• 3:34
  pulls
• 3:34
  you
• 3:34
  forward
• 3:35
  when
• 3:35
  discipline
• 3:35
  gets
• 3:36
  uncomfortable.
• 3:36
  Because,
• 3:36
  listen,
• 3:37
  discipline
• 3:37
  is
• 3:37
  not
• 3:37
  easy.
• 3:38
  Discipline
• 3:39
  makes
• 3:39
  you
• 3:40
  feel
• 3:40
  stuck
• 3:41
  sometimes.
• 3:41
  That's
• 3:41
  shame.
• 3:42
  We
• 3:42
  talk
• 3:42
  about
• 3:42
  that
• 3:42
  on
• 3:42
  the
• 3:42
  show
• 3:43
  all
• 3:43
  the
• 3:43
  time.
• 3:43
  That
• 3:43
  shame
• 3:44
  keeps
• 3:44
  you
• 3:44
  stuck.
• 3:45
  But
• 3:46
  having
• 3:46
  that
• 3:46
  purpose
• 3:47
  will
• 3:47
  move
• 3:47
  you.
• 3:48
  And
• 3:49
  a
• 3:49
  God
• 3:49
  given
• 3:49
  why
• 3:50
  stabilizes
• 3:51
  every
• 3:51
  financial
• 3:52
  decision.
• 3:54
  So
• 3:54
  that's
• 3:54
  what
• 3:54
  I
• 3:54
  wanted
• 3:54
  to
• 3:54
  start
• 3:55
  with.
• 3:55
  Your
• 3:55
  numbers
• 3:56
  need
• 3:56
  a
• 3:56
  North
• 3:56
  Star.
• 3:57
  And
• 3:58
  God
• 3:58
  provides
• 3:59
  that
• 3:59
  one.
• 3:59
  God
• 3:59
  provides
• 4:00
  that
• 4:00
  vision.
• 4:00
  Second
• 4:01
  point,
• 4:02
  mission
• 4:02
  converts
• 4:03
  categories.
• 4:04
  A
• 4:04
  lot
• 4:04
  of
• 4:05
  people
• 4:05
  get
• 4:05
  stuck
• 4:05
  on
• 4:05
  the
• 4:05
  word
• 4:06
  budget.
• 4:06
  They
• 4:06
  say,
• 4:06
  oh,
• 4:06
  Ralph,
• 4:06
  you're
• 4:07
  always
• 4:07
  talking
• 4:07
  about
• 4:07
  budget.
• 4:08
  You're
• 4:08
  always
• 4:08
  talking
• 4:08
  about
• 4:08
  restriction.
• 4:10
  But
• 4:10
  your
• 4:10
  budget,
• 4:11
  when
• 4:11
  you
• 4:11
  have
• 4:11
  a
• 4:12
  mission,
• 4:12
  becomes
• 4:13
  a
• 4:13
  ministry
• 4:13
  tool.
• 4:14
  Because
• 4:14
  you
• 4:15
  can
• 4:15
  ask
• 4:15
  this,
• 4:15
  how
• 4:16
  does
• 4:16
  God
• 4:16
  want
• 4:16
  me
• 4:16
  to
• 4:16
  serve
• 4:17
  in
• 4:17
  2026?
• 4:18
  We're
• 4:18
  all
• 4:18
  planning
• 4:19
  for
• 4:19
  2026.
• 4:21
  But
• 4:21
  start
• 4:21
  with
• 4:22
  the
• 4:22
  question
• 4:22
  of
• 4:22
  God,
• 4:23
  how
• 4:23
  do
• 4:23
  you
• 4:23
  want
• 4:23
  me
• 4:24
  to
• 4:24
  serve?
• 4:25
  And
• 4:25
  once
• 4:25
  you
• 4:25
  understand
• 4:26
  that,
• 4:27
  then
• 4:27
  you
• 4:27
  can
• 4:28
  align
• 4:28
  your
• 4:28
  giving,
• 4:29
  you
• 4:29
  can
• 4:29
  align
• 4:29
  your
• 4:30
  savings,
• 4:30
  you
• 4:31
  can
• 4:31
  align
• 4:31
  your
• 4:31
  serving,
• 4:32
  you
• 4:32
  can
• 4:32
  align
• 4:33
  your
• 4:33
  spending.
• 4:33
  And
• 4:34
  also
• 4:34
  you're
• 4:34
  investing
• 4:35
  because
• 4:36
  you
• 4:36
  understand
• 4:37
  the
• 4:37
  vision.
• 4:38
  And
• 4:39
  all
• 4:39
  of
• 4:39
  a
• 4:39
  sudden.
• 4:39
  And
• 4:40
  it
• 4:40
  doesn't
• 4:40
  happen
• 4:40
  overnight,
• 4:41
  but
• 4:41
  over
• 4:41
  time,
• 4:42
  when
• 4:42
  you
• 4:42
  live
• 4:42
  in
• 4:42
  that
• 4:42
  vision,
• 4:43
  those
• 4:43
  categories
• 4:44
  become
• 4:44
  assignments,
• 4:45
  not
• 4:46
  obligations.
• 4:46
  See,
• 4:47
  when
• 4:47
  you
• 4:47
  really
• 4:47
  have
• 4:48
  that
• 4:48
  mindset
• 4:48
  shift,
• 4:49
  when
• 4:49
  you
• 4:49
  understand
• 4:50
  that
• 4:50
  vision,
• 4:52
  it's
• 4:52
  not
• 4:52
  assignments
• 4:53
  anymore.
• 4:54
  It's
• 4:54
  what
• 4:54
  God
• 4:55
  wants
• 4:55
  you
• 4:55
  to
• 4:55
  do.
• 4:55
  And
• 4:55
  that
• 4:56
  mission,
• 4:56
  let
• 4:56
  me
• 4:56
  just
• 4:57
  tell
• 4:57
  you
• 4:57
  right
• 4:57
  now,
• 4:57
  if
• 4:57
  you
• 4:58
  deal
• 4:58
  with
• 4:58
  impulse
• 4:58
  spending,
• 5:00
  that
• 5:00
  mission
• 5:00
  destroys
• 5:01
  that.
• 5:02
  Because
• 5:02
  now
• 5:02
  everything
• 5:03
  has
• 5:03
  a
• 5:03
  meaning.
• 5:04
  And
• 5:04
  that's
• 5:04
  so
• 5:04
  very
• 5:05
  important.
• 5:07
  Point
• 5:07
  number
• 5:07
  three,
• 5:09
  peace
• 5:09
  is
• 5:09
  built.
• 5:10
  One
• 5:10
  faithful
• 5:10
  step
• 5:11
  at
• 5:11
  a
• 5:11
  time.
• 5:12
  A
• 5:12
  lot
• 5:12
  of
• 5:12
  people
• 5:12
  need
• 5:12
  to
• 5:13
  hear
• 5:13
  this
• 5:13
  right
• 5:13
  now.
• 5:13
  Listen,
• 5:14
  many
• 5:14
  times
• 5:14
  in
• 5:14
  my
• 5:14
  life,
• 5:14
  I
• 5:15
  needed
• 5:15
  to
• 5:15
  hear
• 5:15
  this
• 5:15
  because
• 5:15
  I
• 5:16
  thought,
• 5:16
  oh,
• 5:16
  it's
• 5:16
  just
• 5:16
  going
• 5:16
  to
• 5:17
  happen
• 5:17
  overnight.
• 5:19
  But
• 5:19
  God
• 5:19
  doesn't
• 5:19
  build
• 5:19
  that
• 5:20
  vision
• 5:20
  overnight.
• 5:22
  He
• 5:22
  helps
• 5:22
  you
• 5:23
  establish
• 5:23
  the
• 5:23
  plans,
• 5:24
  but
• 5:24
  you
• 5:24
  build
• 5:24
  it.
• 5:25
  You
• 5:25
  build
• 5:25
  it.
• 5:26
  One
• 5:26
  bill
• 5:26
  paid
• 5:27
  at
• 5:27
  a
• 5:27
  time.
• 5:27
  You
• 5:28
  build
• 5:28
  it.
• 5:28
  One
• 5:28
  temptation
• 5:29
  resisted
• 5:30
  at
• 5:30
  a
• 5:30
  time.
• 5:30
  You
• 5:31
  build
• 5:31
  it.
• 5:31
  One
• 5:31
  small
• 5:32
  win
• 5:32
  celebrated
• 5:33
  at
• 5:33
  a
• 5:33
  time,
• 5:34
  and
• 5:34
  one
• 5:34
  small
• 5:34
  obedient
• 5:35
  step
• 5:35
  at
• 5:36
  a
• 5:36
  time.
• 5:37
  Because
• 5:37
  I
• 5:37
  want
• 5:37
  to
• 5:38
  tell
• 5:38
  you
• 5:38
  something,
• 5:38
  you
• 5:38
  need
• 5:38
  to
• 5:38
  hear
• 5:39
  this
• 5:39
  today
• 5:39
  if
• 5:39
  you're
• 5:39
  dealing
• 5:40
  with
• 5:40
  this
• 5:40
  right
• 5:40
  now.
• 5:41
  God
• 5:41
  honors
• 5:42
  faithfulness
• 5:42
  before
• 5:43
  increase.
• 5:46
  And
• 5:46
  you
• 5:46
  need
• 5:46
  to
• 5:46
  understand
• 5:47
  you're
• 5:47
  not
• 5:47
  behind.
• 5:48
  You're
• 5:49
  actually
• 5:49
  building.
• 5:51
  Which
• 5:51
  leads
• 5:51
  me
• 5:51
  to
• 5:51
  the
• 5:51
  final
• 5:52
  point
• 5:52
  for
• 5:52
  today.
• 5:53
  God
• 5:53
  gives
• 5:54
  peace
• 5:54
  before
• 5:54
  he
• 5:55
  gives
• 5:55
  plenty.
• 5:57
  You
• 5:57
  know,
• 5:57
  that's
• 5:57
  a
• 5:57
  tough
• 5:57
  one
• 5:58
  to
• 5:58
  stomach
• 5:58
  sometimes,
• 5:59
  because
• 6:00
  we
• 6:00
  want
• 6:00
  it
• 6:00
  all.
• 6:00
  We
• 6:01
  want
• 6:01
  to
• 6:01
  say,
• 6:01
  God,
• 6:01
  Well,
• 6:01
  I
• 6:01
  don't
• 6:02
  understand.
• 6:02
  I've
• 6:02
  been
• 6:02
  praying
• 6:02
  incessantly.
• 6:03
  Why
• 6:03
  aren't
• 6:03
  you
• 6:03
  giving
• 6:04
  me
• 6:04
  this?
• 6:05
  But
• 6:06
  so
• 6:06
  many
• 6:06
  times
• 6:06
  in
• 6:07
  my
• 6:07
  life,
• 6:07
  I
• 6:07
  can
• 6:07
  speak
• 6:07
  for
• 6:08
  me
• 6:08
  right
• 6:08
  now.
• 6:10
  Sometimes
• 6:10
  God
• 6:10
  says,
• 6:11
  wait,
• 6:12
  just
• 6:13
  hold
• 6:13
  up
• 6:13
  a
• 6:13
  second,
• 6:13
  Ralph.
• 6:14
  Now,
• 6:14
  he's
• 6:15
  not
• 6:15
  doing
• 6:15
  that
• 6:15
  to
• 6:15
  punish
• 6:16
  us.
• 6:17
  He's
• 6:17
  doing
• 6:17
  that
• 6:18
  to
• 6:18
  prepare
• 6:18
  us.
• 6:20
  And
• 6:20
  it
• 6:21
  took
• 6:21
  me
• 6:21
  a
• 6:21
  long
• 6:21
  time
• 6:21
  to
• 6:21
  understand
• 6:22
  why.
• 6:22
  But
• 6:22
  here's
• 6:22
  why.
• 6:23
  Increase
• 6:23
  without
• 6:24
  vision
• 6:24
  becomes
• 6:24
  chaos.
• 6:25
  See,
• 6:26
  if
• 6:26
  God
• 6:26
  just
• 6:26
  threw
• 6:26
  it
• 6:26
  all
• 6:27
  at
• 6:27
  us
• 6:27
  at
• 6:27
  once,
• 6:28
  we
• 6:28
  wouldn't
• 6:28
  be
• 6:28
  able
• 6:28
  to
• 6:29
  handle
• 6:29
  it.
• 6:29
  We
• 6:29
  wouldn't
• 6:29
  be
• 6:29
  prepared
• 6:30
  for
• 6:30
  that.
• 6:30
  It
• 6:30
  would
• 6:30
  just
• 6:30
  be
• 6:30
  absolute
• 6:31
  chaos.
• 6:33
  And
• 6:33
  that
• 6:33
  worry
• 6:34
  would
• 6:34
  drain
• 6:34
  us.
• 6:36
  But
• 6:36
  that
• 6:36
  relentless
• 6:37
  worship,
• 6:37
  that
• 6:38
  consistent
• 6:38
  effort,
• 6:40
  that
• 6:40
  worship
• 6:40
  resets
• 6:41
  us.
• 6:42
  And
• 6:42
  so
• 6:42
  many
• 6:42
  people
• 6:43
  get
• 6:43
  stuck
• 6:43
  on
• 6:43
  this.
• 6:44
  Provision
• 6:44
  isn't
• 6:44
  just
• 6:45
  money.
• 6:45
  See,
• 6:45
  a
• 6:45
  lot
• 6:45
  of
• 6:46
  people
• 6:46
  say,
• 6:46
  well,
• 6:46
  Ralph,
• 6:47
  I
• 6:47
  don't
• 6:47
  have
• 6:47
  that
• 6:47
  money.
• 6:49
  But
• 6:49
  maybe
• 6:50
  for
• 6:50
  you,
• 6:50
  provision
• 6:50
  is
• 6:51
  clarity.
• 6:51
  It's
• 6:52
  understanding
• 6:52
  that
• 6:53
  vision
• 6:55
  and
• 6:55
  living
• 6:55
  in
• 6:55
  contentment
• 6:56
  that
• 6:56
  is
• 6:56
  fertile
• 6:57
  soil
• 6:57
  for
• 6:57
  blessing.
• 6:59
  And
• 6:59
  if
• 6:59
  you're
• 7:00
  wondering
• 7:00
  how
• 7:00
  you're
• 7:00
  going
• 7:00
  to
• 7:01
  see
• 7:01
  this,
• 7:01
  peace
• 7:01
  is
• 7:02
  the
• 7:02
  first
• 7:02
  sign
• 7:02
  that
• 7:02
  you've
• 7:03
  aligned
• 7:03
  with
• 7:03
  God's
• 7:03
  direction.
• 7:04
  I
• 7:04
  truly
• 7:04
  believe
• 7:04
  this
• 7:04
  in
• 7:05
  my
• 7:05
  own
• 7:05
  life.
• 7:05
  When
• 7:05
  you
• 7:06
  feel
• 7:06
  peace
• 7:06
  returning,
• 7:08
  I'm
• 7:08
  going
• 7:08
  to
• 7:08
  tell
• 7:08
  you
• 7:08
  right
• 7:09
  now,
• 7:09
  that's
• 7:10
  God
• 7:10
  leading
• 7:10
  you.
• 7:12
  Let's
• 7:12
  look
• 7:12
  at
• 7:12
  the
• 7:12
  Book
• 7:13
  of
• 7:13
  Proverbs,
• 7:13
  chapter
• 7:14
  16,
• 7:14
  verse
• 7:15
  9.
• 7:15
  In
• 7:15
  the
• 7:15
  hearts.
• 7:16
  Humans
• 7:16
  plan
• 7:16
  their
• 7:17
  course,
• 7:17
  but
• 7:17
  the
• 7:17
  Lord
• 7:18
  establishes
• 7:18
  their
• 7:18
  steps.
• 7:19
  I've
• 7:19
  heard
• 7:19
  this
• 7:19
  said,
• 7:21
  we
• 7:21
  plan
• 7:22
  and
• 7:22
  God
• 7:22
  lives.
• 7:25
  How
• 7:25
  about
• 7:25
  First
• 7:25
  Peter,
• 7:26
  Chapter
• 7:26
  5,
• 7:26
  Verse
• 7:27
  7?
• 7:27
  Cast
• 7:27
  all
• 7:28
  your
• 7:28
  anxiety
• 7:28
  on
• 7:28
  him
• 7:29
  because
• 7:29
  he
• 7:29
  cares
• 7:29
  for
• 7:29
  you.
• 7:31
  The
• 7:32
  Lord
• 7:32
  cares
• 7:32
  for
• 7:32
  you.
• 7:34
  The
• 7:34
  Lord
• 7:34
  wants
• 7:34
  you
• 7:35
  to
• 7:35
  be
• 7:35
  successful.
• 7:38
  Establish
• 7:38
  your
• 7:39
  vision
• 7:39
  and
• 7:39
  establish
• 7:40
  your
• 7:40
  steps
• 7:40
  with
• 7:40
  him.
• 7:41
  How
• 7:41
  about
• 7:41
  we
• 7:41
  pray
• 7:41
  together,
• 7:42
  Lord?
• 7:43
  We
• 7:43
  ask
• 7:43
  right
• 7:43
  now
• 7:43
  that
• 7:44
  you
• 7:44
  would
• 7:44
  help
• 7:44
  me
• 7:44
  to
• 7:45
  hear
• 7:45
  your
• 7:45
  vision
• 7:46
  above
• 7:46
  my
• 7:46
  fear.
• 7:46
  Lord,
• 7:47
  it's
• 7:47
  so
• 7:47
  easy
• 7:47
  to
• 7:47
  live
• 7:48
  in
• 7:48
  a
• 7:48
  state
• 7:48
  of
• 7:48
  fear
• 7:48
  with
• 7:49
  everything
• 7:49
  going
• 7:49
  on
• 7:49
  around
• 7:50
  us.
• 7:50
  As
• 7:51
  we
• 7:51
  prepare
• 7:51
  for
• 7:51
  2026,
• 7:52
  we
• 7:52
  worry,
• 7:53
  Lord.
• 7:53
  We
• 7:53
  wonder
• 7:53
  about
• 7:54
  what
• 7:54
  is
• 7:54
  that
• 7:54
  going
• 7:54
  to
• 7:54
  look
• 7:55
  like.
• 7:55
  And
• 7:55
  we
• 7:55
  want
• 7:55
  to
• 7:55
  have
• 7:56
  it
• 7:56
  all
• 7:56
  laid
• 7:56
  out.
• 7:56
  We
• 7:56
  want
• 7:56
  you
• 7:56
  to
• 7:57
  give
• 7:57
  it
• 7:57
  all
• 7:57
  to
• 7:57
  us
• 7:57
  right
• 7:57
  now,
• 7:57
  Lord,
• 7:58
  but
• 7:58
  help
• 7:58
  us
• 7:58
  to
• 7:59
  hear
• 7:59
  your
• 7:59
  vision
• 8:00
  to
• 8:01
  battle
• 8:01
  that
• 8:01
  fear.
• 8:01
  And,
• 8:01
  Lord,
• 8:02
  as
• 8:02
  we
• 8:02
  think
• 8:02
  about
• 8:03
  planning
• 8:03
  for
• 8:03
  2026,
• 8:04
  redirect
• 8:05
  my
• 8:05
  plans
• 8:05
  to
• 8:05
  match
• 8:06
  your
• 8:06
  calling
• 8:06
  for
• 8:07
  my
• 8:07
  life.
• 8:07
  Help
• 8:07
  us
• 8:07
  to
• 8:07
  live
• 8:08
  in
• 8:08
  your

  will,
• 8:08
  Lord.
• 8:10
  And
• 8:10
  I
• 8:10
  just
• 8:10
  ask
• 8:10
  right
• 8:11
  now
• 8:11
  that
• 8:11
  you
• 8:11
  would
• 8:11
  give
• 8:11
  me
• 8:12
  joy
• 8:12
  and
• 8:12
  generosity
• 8:13
  and
• 8:14
  purpose
• 8:14
  in
