Changed: A 5-Day TransformationSample
DAY 2 – Embrace Your Purpose
God made you wonderful! And it gets even better… You were created by God to do good and even GREAT things! You have a purpose in life and working towards that purpose is a big part of loving who you are – and being able to embrace and even welcome change so you can become the person God intended you to be. Look at what God’s word says:
“For we are God's masterpiece. He has created us anew in Christ Jesus, so we can do the good things he planned for us long ago.” Ephesians 2:10 NLT
Do you have dreams of being a super loving person or achieving great things? Maybe you want to compete in the Olympics… or program a new app that changes the world… or write a best-selling novel. Or maybe you dream of being the kind of person others love being around or who can help someone work through a tough time in life.
God plants good and sometimes challenging dreams in the hearts of those who love him. Do you have a dream? What’s one good thing that you would like to accomplish or become?
If this is a tough question for you, it’s time to push all limits off yourself. You can do great things. In fact, God already has some things in mind for you. Allow yourself to believe and start dreaming.
And guess what! This is a part of change: believing what God says about you.
Pray it: Dear God, thank you that you made me on purpose and for a purpose. Help me to do the good things you had in mind when you made me. My dream is to do/become ________________ (name it here). I commit this dream to you and ask you to help me live it out. In Jesus name, amen!
Say it: God has good things for me to do.
Do it: Tell one person your dream and steps that you are taking towards it. (Maybe they’ll open up and share what they’re dreaming about too.)
