Hi and welcome to the Five Word Prayers Daily, a Five Day a Week daily devotional where we share the word, prayers in our heart.

I'm Lisa Whittle, and I welcome you to just five minutes with me, which I trust and pray will be five minutes well spent.

All right, let's get right into it and let's get honest. Have you ever had a great intention towards something, but not a great plan?

So it never actually happened. The first thing that

comes to my mind is my intention towards friendships. I'm intending to call them or I'm intending to go to

coffee with them someday, but we never actually plan it, so it never winds up happening. I want to talk

today about having an actual plan for social media, this sort of third and final step to our no-holds-barred social media

strategy, if you will. We're going to get pretty nuts and bolts logistics today because

I think it's what it requires for us if we're going to grow up and move on and be healthy

with this in the days ahead. You with me? Let's go. So I'm personally excited about this today because I think I need a better

plan for my social media life moving forward, and I'm hoping that fleshing it out on today's

show with you will help me. This show is a place the Lord teaches me, by the way, and I certainly

hope that's true for you as well.

So we've talked about recognizing the frenzy we get into and being willing to own it and call it out as the step one in our strategy for social media usage moving forward.

And then yesterday, how we become the boss of our social media rather than allowing it to boss us as an important step two.

And then today, I believe we get really specific with an action plan, this step three of planning

accordingly, having a long-term logistical plan for incorporating social media into our life in a

healthy way. I think this is super important for all of us, of course, but especially the

younger generation, as you listening in your 20s and even teens, we have teen listeners. So you have a

lot longer to go with social media being a part of culture in your life as well. So establishing a

plan now, I think is crucial. And by the way, even if we've already blown it,

even if it's gotten out of control, I believe now is the time to go back and reestablish.
