Tostartull Alignment, Fulfilled Life

In order to step into this promise that is available for us, we need to be crystal clear on what our goals, desires, and dreams are by tuning in to God’s voice. And the only way we can begin hearing from God is by silencing the noise.

We need to slow down and begin releasing the things that no longer serve us and may even be toxic. We need to begin doing more of what fills our cup rather than pouring from our empty pitchers. We need to state and claim what we feel God has placed on our hearts, no matter how out of reach or impossible the dream may feel. We need to begin praying audacious prayers and believing for God-sized abundance in all areas of our lives, not because we deserve it but because it has already been written, even before our birth.

And once we become so confident that God has indeed called us to live not just a mediocre, check-off-my-to-do-list life but a fulfilled kind of life, we will begin stepping into a place of complete alignment.

Our God is a big God! He gives us the strength to pull through the unimaginable. We cannot do it through our strength but his, knowing that his strength is made perfect in our weaknesses (2 Corinthians 12:7-10).

Remember, we always have a choice. We can choose for life to feel hard by resisting the current, or we can choose alignment by cultivating humility and surrendering, and allowing God to swoop in and take over. The sooner we can grasp that we have a choice and release control of outcomes, the sooner we can begin living the life He designed for us—a life of freedom, fulfillment, and peace.

God wouldn’t put a calling on your heart if he didn’t believe you could live it out. If it’s there, it means it’s possible. You don’t need anyone else’s permission or belief in your dream. Go and bet on yourself!

Lord, give me the confidence to know I am already strong, courageous, resilient, and wise. Could you help me to see myself as you see me? Please help me to dream big dreams. Give me discernment to know when and where to draw my boundary lines. And help me get back up when I fall. In Jesus’s name, amen.
