Following God's plan for your life saves lives. Although I stopped doingNew Year's Purposes, I am learning to follow God's plan for my life, with the help of the Holy Spirit.
The goal is not to plan as the world does, but to follow God's guidance and accept His plan for our lives.
You don't even know what will happen tomorrow! What is your life? You are a mist that appears for a moment and then disappears. Instead, you should say, "If the Lord is willing, we'll live and do this or that." As it is, you brag about your proud intentions. All this boasting is bad...
So how can you plan the year with God? How do you follow God's plan for your life and worry less about the unknown?
Walking into an uncertain future is unpredictable, but when we go with God, he can work all things together for our good.
God doesn't use a calendar
So please take it easy. We must not be motivated by fear, but by faith in God. And faith also means being patient.
You don't have to get it right at the beginning of the year. It's okay to spend time adding and removing excess.
Give yourself space and time to grow.
This project does not need to be born immediately.
Well, you could, but you don't have to. Only you have a deadline. But make sure you're not the one putting yourself under unnecessary pressure.
Take a deep breath and celebrate your way.
pray always
Rejoice at all times. Pray without ceasing. Give thanks in all circumstances, for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus.

Are you confused about God's will for your life? To pray. Jesus prayed to the Father often. Because prayer is how you communicate with God. As you pray and wait on God, you will learn to discern His will and how He wants you to act.
Then you can give thanks and rejoice in His name.
Do not be anxious about anything, but make your requests known to God in all prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving.

Don't complain that God is mute when you haven't spent enough quality time in His presence.
Praying helps filter your plans so you know which ones are worth it.
You don't have to do everything!
And when Esther, daughter of Abiail, uncle of Mordecai, who had taken her for a daughter, came to the king, she asked for nothing but what Hegai, the king's eunuch, keeper of the women, ordered. . And Esther found favor in the eyes of all who looked on her.
ester 2:15
Like Esther, we must be content with God's plan for our lives. She only used what Hegai prescribed.
Just it! And he found favor with the king. She was chosen to be Queen precisely because she focused on what is most important.
We must know what the Holy Spirit is telling us so that we do notwaste our time.
Therefore, do not be foolish, but understand what the will of the Lord is.es.

trust him,He alone is enough.
My waiting on God helped me to filter out so many courses and activities that I would have given myself. It saved me time and money.
Mipurpose in Christsharpened my focus on what needed to be done and what needed to be discarded.
Each day must be lived intentionally. We must not waste our time on spiritually useless things, but we must learn to follow God's leading in all areas of our lives.
set realistic goals
General goals don't help. Set specific goals.
For example, goals like 'I want to lose weight' are vague.
Be more specific:I want to lose 2, 5 or 10 kg this year.
As?
Join the gym (depends on your time and money) or watch YouTube videos three to five times a week.
What areas of my body do I want to tone or work on? My thighs or my abs
I would like to enroll in courses and skills.
be detailed: Sewing lessons? Professional development skills or craft skills?
Review your goals through the Spirit.
Yes or no? If so, pray to God to be more specific about when and how.
Lazy goal:I would like to build my relationship with God this year.
Specific objectives:
Every morning my soul must receive a word from God.
I need to communicate more with the Holy Spirit.
I need to participate and serve well in the place God has planted for me. How can I participate? Be proactive about this and block your calendar with the time you've set aside for yourself.
vague goal: I need godly friends in my life
Specific objectives: Build deliberate friendships. Make friends with those who seek God. Pray about it and give yourself time to work on your friendships.
Learn to build godly relationships that last
Be open to flexibilities and possibilities beyond your goals.
While it's good to make plans, we must be open to God's will so we don't get offended when things don't go our way.
I remember God leading me to do certain things in 2019. Midway through the year, God came in with a completely different goal and I had to align myself with His new guidance.
I never planned to release or write the sequel to Beautiful Wings! But as I spent time with God, he ministered to me about it and I started writing it this year.
Blogging was never part of the plan. I didn't even know that God would give me freedom to write this year. Until May, when he began to whisper it in my heart.
Months later, as I checked and waited, he started telling me how he wanted it, how he wanted it, and the person he wanted for the job (blog design).
A spiritual man must be flexible to the leading of the Lord. Because the Lord's direction can be offensive if his heart is not being transformed.
no one saidgoingwith God it was easy, but it was definitely worth it.
keep a diary
Get a journal to help you track your physical and spiritual growth as you follow God's plan for your life. 2019 was a mixed year for me and time went by so quickly. Through my journal, I was able to observe my spiritual growth and see how far I have come.
A diary can help you track where you are and what needs to be addressed.
I remember that God shared some projects with me in 2018. Even if I didn't materialize them, I can keep reviewing, praying and surrendering to Him until He provides when, how and how it should be. done.
Your journal can be a source of reminders and allow you to track your spiritual and physical growth.
Obedience
Obedience accelerates growth and helps us align with God's plan. Esther obeyed Hegai's instructions and became queen. Imagine if he had chosen his own path.
Without obedience, we might as well have the Scriptures reflected in us. But the more we obey God, the more we gain clarity about the next stage and how to move forward.
We are able to follow God's plan for our lives by obeying his instructions.
Obedience reveals how much of God we want and how much of ourselves we are willing to strip or discard.
Following God's plan over ours may seem silly, but for God every detail counts and values your willingness to do His will.
God will not leave you without comfort. He will guide you through your journey. You can read more about it.here.
Bloom with love. xx!
