Prayer
Nothing is more foundational. We must pray for guidance and ask God to help us equip next generation leaders.
Read the accounts in the Old Testament where Joshua and Israel marched into Canaan. Every time they did not seek prior counsel with God, consequences were incurred.
If we feel we can rely on the past, some form of “wingin’ it,” or a laissez faire approach in our efforts, we are already defeated.
Think seriously about the nature of the situation and start praying now about how we can take the next step to achieve our God-given purpose.
