Part B

If you have found it challenging to set goals during these uncertain times, mainly because circumstances keep changing so quickly, then there are two things you can do. First, you can do scenario goal setting.  This means that you set up multiple goals and plans, depending on what scenario happens. For example, “I will do this by this date if this happens.  On the other hand, I will do that by that date if that happens.” Scenario goal setting is a legitimate way to plan for the future as you trust God during uncertain times. “A man’s heart plans his way, but the Lord directs his steps. (Pro 16:9). Secondly, you can focus on character goals rather than activity goals. In other words, you can set goals for what you want instead of what you want to do. Who do you want to be this time next year? How do you want to be different?  How do you want to be more like Christ? What weakness do you want to work on? No matter how out of control the world feels, you can always choose to change and grow to become the person you want to be. It’s time to get to work! Stop wondering what “could be” and start moving in faith. The Bible says, “Without faith, it is impossible to please God.” (Heb 11:6). When you act in faith, God will honour your goals and help you reach the greatest goal bringing glory to Him.
