God Is Not Your Backup Plan

I am sure you are wondering why this topic…😂

but let’s be honest… sometimes we treat God like customer service.
We try everything else first, and when nothing works, we sigh dramatically and say, “Okay, let’s pray.”
You know that kind of prayer that sounds like:
“God, I’ve done everything I can, so please, just fix it.”

But what if we flipped that?
What if we started with God instead of ending with Him?

I mean, think about it… we plan, hustle, network, and post motivational quotes. We make vision boards, attend “How to Manifest Your Dreams” webinars, and when the doors don’t open, we suddenly remember the verse, “With God all things are possible.”
And God’s probably like, “Oh, so now I’m invited?” 😂

Here’s the thing: God doesn’t mind being called on. But He’s not your last resort. He’s your foundation!
You know how buildings collapse when you build on sand instead of rock? That’s what happens when we build without Him… it might look fine at first, but the cracks always show eventually.

Sometimes, we think we’re being “realistic” by keeping God out of our plans until we need a miracle.
But real faith is inviting Him from the beginning…even into the messy drafts, the uncertainty, the “what if it doesn’t work” moments.

You know, when God leads from the start, you don’t have to beg Him to show up later.
He’s already there, guiding, shaping, and protecting what He started.

And let’s be honest — we’ve all had those “Oh, so this is why it didn’t work” moments.
You know, when something you prayed for didn’t come through, and months later you realize it would’ve been a disaster if it had.
That’s not rejection. That’s redirection.

So yeah, your question this week shouldn’t be, “What’s Plan B if this fails?”
Maybe it’s, “Why wasn’t God Plan A?”

That’s because when you start with Him, you move with peace, and not panic.
You walk with clarity, not confusion.
And even when things don’t go as planned, you know you’re still in the right hands.

God doesn’t want to be the “afterthought” of your story. He wants to be the Author.
So before you plan, plot, or panic this week , pause. Pray.
Not because you’re out of options, but because He is the option.
