Vision with God is less about predicting details and more about aligning your heart with His purposes. When you seek Him first, He shapes your desires, directs your steps, and prepares opportunities you couldn’t have orchestrated on your own.

Moving into 2026, you don’t have to carry the weight of figuring everything out. Your role is to listen, obey, and stay close; His role is to guide, provide, and open the right doors at the right time.
