From Proverbs 16:9
“In their hearts humans plan their course, but the LORD establishes their steps.”
You should know that the author of this page is a Christian first, but very much an athlete second…So goal setting (planning) is something I do all the time! Our plans though, as we know, are set in motion by God.
Let us pray for God’s favor in all of our plans. Father, we love that you gave us free will to develop our own plans. We have these intentions, and goals we ask that they be developed for the purposes of giving you glory and helping our brothers and sisters inside the Body. If there are those among us who endeavor to seek athletic goals, may you be with them and keep them healthy and safe. Many athletes use sport as a means to relieve stress so that they may serve you better outside their gyms and fitness facilities. Upon achieving our goals, let us be mindful that you are the one setting the steps. In Jesus we pray. Amen.
