Want What God Wants For You

Then do everything you need to, to go for it!

No matter what brought you to where you are today, God has a plan and a path for your life. You can doubt it. You might not know what it is. Or, you may believe you don’t deserve any good thing from God. Your thinking doesn’t change the fact that He has a good, good, good purpose for you. Be determined to not let the joy of God’s purpose for you be stolen by your circumstances, or others’ opinions. Stay focused on God. Let Him continue to shape your character, and prepare you, tough as some of the preparation might be, for what He has for you.

Find supportive, positive people who are walking the path of their purpose, to be a living example for you, and who will encourage, and challenge you forward. But mostly, take time to sit with God. Listen for what He has to say to you. Jesus said to the Samaritan Woman at the well, “If you knew the gift of God and who is asking you for a drink, you would have asked Him, and He would have given you living water.” When you believe, REALLY believe, that you are in the presence of The Creator of The Universe, and that HE speaks to you, your life will never be the same. You will have hope unimaginable. What a beautiful sight for those who love and depend on you, to see.

Father, I pray, in the name of Jesus, you will increase the desire in the hearts of those listening to want to listen to Your voice. Not the voices of their friends, or co-workers, or family, but YOU. Speak as only You Can, Lord. Lead them, I pray, to other faithful people who will support and encourage them along the way. May you assure them through changing circumstances or questioning times that You are with them, have not forgotten them, and are pruning and preparing them for Your Plan for them. May they find all they are looking for, in Living Water. In Jesus’ Name, Amen…
