If you wonder where God is taking you, feel unsure of your next step or would like to know more about your life purpose this is for you…
As I’m writing these words I’m zipping down an open highway. Don’t worry—no typing and driving! My husband is at the wheel as we’re heading to a conference. I’m simply taking advantage of the time to get some work done.
To my left our GPS is clearly telling us where we are, where we’re going and how long will it take to get there. And I’m struck all over again about how I wish I had something that specific to show me God’s path for my life as well. You too?
My daughter (I share our story in the You’re Already Amazing LifeGrowth Guide Session Three Video) and I were talking about this yesterday. She’s getting ready to graduate from college (woo-hoo!) and asking God to reveal His next steps for her life.
We’ve all had times like that and we probably will again. They’re part of this wild, mysterious journey with Jesus. So what can we do in those moments? We’re focusing on Session Three of the You’re Already Amazing LifeGrowth Guide this week and it gives in-depth tools and guidance. But here’s a quick list you can use as well:
– First, we can pause and look back on God’s hand in our lives. Remembering how He’s come through for us before can give us confidence He’ll do so again.
– Then we can choose to be fully present in this moment. God says His name is “I am.” We find Him and His blessings in the present tense.
– We can also simply take the next step that’s right in front of us. We may want to wait until we know the complete picture because we think we’ll be less afraid. But I’ve found we often know as we go.
– Finally, we can also remind our hearts that life is not about the destinations. It’s about relationships and transformation.
I’ve watched my daughter do all of the above and I’m so proud of her. Sometimes when it seems the hardest to believe our faith actually grows the most…
You may feel uncertain about where you are today. Maybe you have regrets about your past. You might feel unsettled about your current place in life. Or you could have questions about your future. No matter what, you can be sure of this: God loves you and knows your situation as well as location. He always has. He always will. His plan for your life is good, and He wants to guide you every step of the way.
