Careful planning should include submission to God.

"Look here, you people who say, 'Today or tomorrow we are going to such and such a town, stay there a year, and open up a profitable business.' How do you know what is going to happen tomorrow?

Otherwise you will be bragging about your own plans, and such self-confidence never pleases God." James 4:13-16

Yet, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us. (Romans 8:37)
