THE CRA PERSPECTIVE ✦ THE CRA TACKLE SYSTEM • PART 06 E — EXECUTE AND EVALUATE Turn Decisions into Progress Choose the next safe, useful step. Set a realistic time to review the result. If it works, continue where appropriate. If it does not, learn from the outcome and adjust your plan. ACT • OBSERVE • LEARN • ADJUST The Moment When Thinking Must Become Action There comes a point in every difficult situation when thinking, analysing and preparing must give way to action. We may have paused to control our immediate reaction, assessed the facts, identified what we can influence, considered alternative options and reached out for support.

THE CRA PERSPECTIVE ✦ A REFLECTION ON LUKE 11:5–13 WHEN YOU KEEP KNOCKING, KEEP BELIEVING The Power of Persistent Prayer What Jesus teaches us about perseverance, faith in difficult moments, the goodness of the Father, and the courage to keep praying when life does not give us immediate answers.
