One of the things that can cause the most stress is the inability to start/complete things you set out to do. Things that you feel God has called you to do. My challenge to you today is to be patient and stay focused. Too often we become anxious over big decisions, next steps, new careers, etc.
Some food for thought
Make a list of what you what you need or want to do (write it down)
If you can’t sleep peacefully at night over it — it’s not yet time or it’s not the right decision to make
– Remember, God leads us in steps — not leaps — so the more you wait on his timing, the steps
you need to take will become apparent to you (and not leave you questioning if you did the right
thing or not)
Try to do at least 1 thing on your to do list every day
Don’t procrastinate
Be mindful of what you spend your time doing
– I confess I’m guilty of too much time spent on social media and ‘cleaning’ and not focusing on
quality time with my kids
Don’t dwell on the past – it can’t be changed. Forgive and move forward
God’s Word
Colossians 3:2
Set your minds on the things that are above, not on things that are on earth.
Matthew 6:33
But seek FIRST the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to yuo.
Proverbs 4:25
Let your eyes look directly forward, and your gaze be straight before you
We are equpped with everything we need
God will provide
God will sustain
God will give wisdom
Stay focused, you’re not alone — you have the very one who raised Jesus from the dead in your corner. He’s there to lead, guide and cheer you on. Let that desire that he has placed in your heart take root and be cultivated in His word. Be patient and enjoy the journey.
