Even if you don't know what God's will is for you, you can confidently begin thinking in faith. Each day we wake up, we get another chance. Every day we receive brand-new mercies. You have a fresh start, another day with God! You have a renewed mind with new possibilities. You don't have to allow old memories that have held you down to affect your new day. Allow me to make a suggestion: Think of all the positive things in your life. Recall the right people around you. God has a perfect plan for us (Jeremiah 29:11).
Meditate on this thought: Whatever He does will be useful, and I will be blessed.
Thinking positively about your life is vital. You should assume, speak, and agree with God. Beloved, we are living in a time when difficulties will arise, and becoming discouraged is unavoidable. It doesn't matter how bleak things appear; no darkness can overcome the light of God within us. You may not always see fast progress, but always remember that God is working in you, alongside you, and He is making all things new. IT'S A NEW DAY!
One of the best things you and I can do is thank God for the benefits and blessings He has given us today. I can attest that being very careful not to let emotions take the lead in my life is essential. I'm sure you can agree that we live among sinful, confused people who will attempt to remove your peace. Do your best to remain spiritually mature, kind, and patient. The Word of God employs us to be wise as serpents and gentle as doves (Matthew 10:16). The final say in the matters of your life belongs to God. IT'S A BRAND-NEW DAY!
So, here's the nugget: YOU must want it as much as God wants it for you. I believe you want to walk out the will for your life that He has stored up for you. Examine yourself as much as you need, as you are getting into alignment with Him. Move away from stress to rest, cruise into your comeback, shake off any setback, and mandate meditation with yourself. I assure you, God will speak to your life and the path He has planned for you!
Rev. W. these are great questions. I believe our flesh prevents us at times. Our own thoughts and ways we’ve conditioned ourselves with, knowingly or unknowingly. We have to submit daily to Christ that our spirit be in tune with Him. I constantly pray :“Lord teach me to trust your will completely.” We can’t recognize God’s instructions when we are filled with the ‘noise’ of this world. I imagine we won’t do some things as God would desire us to do because of fear, going against the grain, being too concerned about what others think! Even stubbornness. If any of these things consume us, left open without correction, bringing them to God; we can get lost in this …
Amen. Psalm 32:8 & Proverbs 3:5-6
