2026 Business Goal Settings With God
How I Set My Yearly and Quarterly Goals With God
For many years, goal setting felt like something I should be good at, yet it never fully worked the way I expected it to. I could plan, visualize, work hard, and stay disciplined, but something always felt misaligned. Progress happened, but it did not always feel steady or grounded. What I was building required too much internal effort for the level of clarity and devotion I was bringing to it.
What eventually changed everything was not a new strategy or a better system. It was learning how to set goals with God in a way that honored my nervous system, preserved my dignity, and created consistency without pressure.
This is the process I now use to set my yearly and quarterly goals. It is faith led, grounded, and sustainable. It is not about forcing outcomes or manifesting through intensity. It is about choosing a direction, aligning internally, and allowing provision to unfold with steadiness and peace.
I no longer see goals as wishes or aspirations. I see them as directions I commit to walking. Once a direction is chosen, my work is not to convince myself every day or question whether it will happen. My work is to maintain posture and integrity while trusting God with the unfolding.
Before I ever write down a goal, I prepare the container that will hold it. This means my home, my office, and my work environment. I clear clutter, complete unfinished tasks, and ask God to remove residue from past pressure and over-efforting. I pray for peace, order, and barakah in these spaces because a goal placed into chaos will recreate chaos. A goal placed into a regulated environment has room to grow without force.
Once the physical and inner container is prepared, I anchor the goal in responsibility rather than ego. Before asking for anything for myself, I pray for my family, my household, and the people I am responsible for. This step grounds expansion in stewardship. When growth is anchored only in desire, it often destabilizes. When it is anchored in responsibility, it tends to last.
Only then do I move into decision. I journal, reflect, and listen inwardly. When clarity arrives, I make a decision. Not a tentative one and not something I keep revisiting. A real decision sounds like this is the direction I am walking. Once I decide, I stop reopening the question. Faith does not require repeating decisions. It requires standing by them.
After the decision is made, I focus on regulating my ability to receive. This step is often overlooked, yet it is essential. I work intentionally on releasing guilt around money, separating provision from shame, restoring dignity in receiving, and reclaiming authorship over my life. If the nervous system associates success with pressure or scrutiny, it will quietly interfere with consistency. Regulation here is what allows stability later.
Instead of asking vaguely for more, I ask God for provision in form, not just amount. I ask for provision that preserves dignity, income that arrives steadily, and money that allows choice, investment, and calm. I ask for my business to be a primary means of provision rather than a source of stress. This is not about control. It is about clarity. God is not limited by specificity. Confusion usually is.
I also ask specifically for consistency. I no longer ask for surges that require recovery afterward. I ask for steadiness, rhythm, and regularity. Consistency builds wealth. Intensity builds exhaustion.
Only after alignment do I create a plan. I ask what pace I can maintain without pressure and what actions match the posture I have chosen. This prevents over-efforting and emotional earning. The plan supports the nervous system rather than overriding it.
When I work, I work with excellence, but not from a place of proving. Work becomes worship when it is no longer driven by fear. I show up, execute, and hold standards, but I no longer work to earn worth or safety.
As results begin to show, I normalize them. I do not over-celebrate, over-track, or search for meaning in every outcome. I allow provision to become ordinary. Normalization is what turns progress into a stable foundation.
On a daily basis, I do not repeat the entire process. Instead, I maintain authority through brief internal check-ins. I notice whether I reopened the decision, whether guilt tried to influence my choices, and whether I allowed what came to feel normal. If something feels off, I correct posture, not the goal.
This approach works because it honors God as the source, restores human agency, regulates the nervous system, removes guilt from receiving, and supports long-term consistency. It is faith without passivity and ambition without collapse.
I use this process once a year to set my main direction and once per quarter to refine it. I do not repeat it daily. I decide once, maintain daily, and allow God to unfold the outcome.
You do not need to want less or shrink yourself to be faithful. You need clarity, dignity, and consistency. When those are in place, provision does not need to shout to be real.
If this way of setting goals resonates with you, if you are craving clarity, sovereignty, and a deeper relationship with God that actually stabilizes your life and business, then my book In God We Trust was written for you.
This book is not about hustle dressed up as faith, and it is not about surrendering your agency in the name of spirituality. It is about rebuilding trust with God while reclaiming your authority, dignity, and responsibility as a woman who builds, chooses, and leads.
Inside, I share the inner shifts, perspectives, and truths that changed how I relate to money, work, provision, and decision-making. Not in theory, but in practice. This is for women who want to live and build from trust rather than pressure, and from conviction rather than fear.
If you are ready to stop outsourcing your certainty and start anchoring your life in God with clarity and strength, you can get your copy of In God We Trust now.
