The Power of Quiet Strategy Meetings With God

MN Collective | Insights Unfiltered

Believe. Build. Brand.

In business, we schedule strategy meetings. We hold planning sessions. We review numbers, goals, projections, risks, and opportunities. We gather teams, seek expert advice, analyze markets, and refine vision because we understand the importance of direction.

Yet somewhere in the middle of building careers, businesses, brands, families, and futures, many of us forget to sit with the very One who holds tomorrow.

What if some of the greatest clarity we seek is not found in noise, but in quiet moments with God?

Not just through prayer where most of the time we are asking, speaking, worrying, or presenting requests, but through moments where we pause long enough to listen, reflect, and be guided just as we do during strategy meetings in our everyday lives.

I have learned to normalize daily catch-ups with God.

Not just prayer during crisis.

Not just worship on Sundays.

Not just routine prayers before meals or before bed.

But intentional conversations with Him about everything life, business, finances, relationships, children, purpose, career decisions, fears, dreams, uncertainties, and even the smallest details of everyday life.

The older I grow spiritually, the more I realize God rarely shouts.

He guides.

Sometimes through discernment.

Sometimes through peace.

Sometimes through an inner knowing.

Sometimes through discomfort that pushes you away from what is not meant for you.

Sometimes through stillness that quietly redirects your path.

And often, His direction does not immediately make sense.

There are seasons where God’s guidance feels unconventional or completely opposite to logic. Yet time and time again, His wisdom proves greater than our understanding.

That is why the Book of Proverbs remains one of the most powerful reminders of how we should walk with God daily:

“Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct your paths.” Proverbs 3:5–6

There is something deeply powerful about acknowledging God in all things.

Not just major decisions.

Everything.

What to pursue.

What to walk away from.

What to say.

What to build.

Who to trust.

When to move.

When to wait.

How to show up daily. 

Even the smallest details we often overlook. E.g. what to wear? What to present?

I have personally reached a place where I bring everything before God because I understand that in Him I live, move, and have my being. Every fiber of my existence belongs to God. In strength and weakness, in good seasons and difficult ones, He remains my anchor, my Father, my source, my covering, my everything.

God was never meant to be a distant emergency contact we only call when life falls apart. He desires relationship daily genuine connection.

Just as we seek advice from trusted partners, mentors, pastors, consultants, friends, or leaders, we should also learn to openly speak with God, fully aware that God often uses people to guide, teach, bless, and position us.

“God, what do You think about this?”

“Lead me.”

“Guide me.”

“Help me discern.”

“Give me wisdom.”

“Teach me.”

“Show me.”

Simple conversations. Honest conversations. Real conversations.

Being fully yourself with your Father and Creator.

Sometimes we overcomplicate intimacy with God. Yet often, He simply wants our attention, acknowledgment, and trust. He already knows everything before we even say it.

We intentionally make time for meetings.

Time for work.

Time for social media.

Time for entertainment.

Time for friends.

Time for dinners and hangouts.

Time for sherehe, as we call the club scene in Kenya.

Time for school.

Time for growth.

Time for interviews.

Time for business meetings.

And we become disciplined and committed to all these things.

Yet somehow, we struggle to intentionally make time for God the very One who gave us life itself.

Every morning you wake up and open your eyes is evidence of grace.

“Before I formed you in the womb I knew you.”  Jeremiah 1:5

That realization changes everything.

You begin to understand that prayer is not merely asking God for things.

It is alignment.

It is relationship.

It is partnership with Heaven.

And what a privilege it is to walk through life guided by the Creator of heaven and earth.

One of the greatest lessons I learned came from a colleague and friend. She had lost her husband and was left to raise two beautiful girls. We used to sit in the same office, and one thing she constantly did stayed with me forever she spoke to God openly, naturally, continuously.

Sometimes I would ask, “Who are you talking to?”

And she would simply laugh and say, “God.”

Other times she would mention her late husband, but mostly, it was conversations with God throughout the day.

A few weeks ago, we spoke again, and the first thing she asked me was:

“Do you still talk to God anytime, anywhere?”

I laughed.

Then she told me, “Usisahau. Talk to God about anything. Anytime. He is God. Mungu ni yule msee.”

That shifted my perspective permanently.

Thank you, Mr. Susan as we jokingly nicknamed her for teaching me the beauty of constant and consistent conversations with God.

I realized conversations with God were never meant to be limited to Sundays, fasting seasons, or routine morning and evening prayers.

They were meant to happen daily.

Anytime. Anywhere. Anyhow.

Because God is not limited. He is able. He is faithful. He is present. He is God.

“Now to Him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to His power that is at work within us.” Ephesians 3:20

Many times, we limit God with fear, doubt, overthinking, and human understanding. Yet God sees beyond what we can see. He understands timing. He understands preparation. He understands purpose.

He’s got you. Keep showing up. Keep trusting God as you continue doing what you are called to do. Keep taking steps of faith. Keep seeking Him.

In Kenya, we often say in Sheng, “Itajipa tu siku moja.”

One day, it will all make sense.

One day you wake up and realize things have changed. The prayers, the waiting, the stretching, the uncertainty all of it was part of the journey.

Lately, I have normalized saying, “God answers prayers.”

Because many of the things we pray for are answered through process, growth, preparation, resilience, obedience, and time.

At the same time, I have also learned that God is not transactional. His love for us is unconditional. He sees our hearts.

Sometimes during grief and loss, we ask difficult questions:

Why did God take him or her?

Why do bad things happen to good people?

Why do good things happen to bad people?

Why this pain?

Why this timing?

And perhaps the truth is only God fully knows.

Our role is not to love God only for what He can do for us, but to love Him simply because He is God.

We do not love our parents, children, or family members because of what they can provide every day. We love them because they are ours. In the same way, normalize loving God for God. Not only seeking His hand, but seeking His heart.

Not always asking.

Sometimes simply sitting with Him.

Sometimes simply loving His presence.

And when the breakthrough finally comes, you realize it was never overnight. It was faith. Resilience. Obedience. Hard work. Consistency. Gratitude. It was God.

Walking with God is beautiful. Anyone who truly knows me knows one of my favorite statements is simple:

“I DO GOD ONLY.”

Where God leads me, I go.

Many of the moves I make may never make sense to the world, but as long as God has said yes, I keep moving.

For me, it has never been about status, money, validation, or applause.

It has always been about God.

I have reached a place where I would rather lose everything and still have God than gain everything and lose alignment with Him.

Sometimes what feels like delay is actually divine direction.

Sometimes what feels like silence is God teaching us trust.

And sometimes the greatest breakthroughs happen when we quiet the world long enough to hear God clearly.

Normalize spending time with God.

Normalize quiet moments.

Normalize seeking His wisdom before making decisions.

Normalize building your life with God at the center.

Because at the end of it all, He is still the beginning and the end.

The Author and Finisher of our faith.

The ultimate strategist.

The ultimate Father.

And perhaps the greatest peace in life is knowing that no matter what happens, you are walking through life guided by God Himself.
