Proverbs 16:9: 'The heart of man plans his way, but the Lord establishes his steps.'

Make plans. The verse doesn't condemn planning — it assumes it.

But the Lord establishes the steps. He's the one writing the actual story.

Your plan is the proposal. His providence is the final draft.

Hold your plans with open hands. Be surprised when God redirects. That's not failure — that's him doing what this verse promises.
