Creating a Plan of Action
Review the following questions and use them to help you or the person struggling to assemble a plan of action. It is a means to give you an idea of what a plan should look like and perhaps spark personal creativity to adjust your plan according to your specific needs.
As you seek the Lord through prayer, ask Him to help you see what the future would look like for you if you overcame this habit. How would you feel about yourself if you didn’t act out anymore? How would you see yourself different? What would be the benefits of you walking in freedom? Pay attention to what God’s Word says about you and all the questions you ask Him (review the “Who I am in Christ” Scripture list). God desires for you to live a life of purpose, joy, fulfillment, and peace. Things will not always be perfect, but you can rely on God to give you His strength and face any storm in life. If you choose to believe this, then you are ready to formulate a plan.
It All Starts with Prayer
Start by taking some time to seriously think about what you want to achieve. Go before the Lord in prayer and ask Him to search your heart. Psalms 139:23 (NIV) says “Search me, O God, and know my heart; test me and know my anxious thoughts.” There are many unanswered questions that tend to drive us to confusion and hopelessness. But the truth is that we have Christ, the hope of glory (Colossians 1:27) to help us through these difficult times.As you seek the Lord through prayer, ask Him to help you see what the future would look like for you if you overcame this habit.

Start Asking Questions
A plan is established when you want to improve or change something about yourself because you choose to believe there is something better to obtain. So, ask yourself, “What plan do I have in place for myself?” “If I am going to overcome this, what needs to change in my life?” “What things do I need to do?” “Who do I want to bring into my support system to help me through this?” “How will I be strengthening my inner-man in order to be able to control my emotions?”
