A Year of Purpose: 5 Days to Refocus on GodSample

Setting God-Centered Goals

It's a new year, it’s natural to start planning and setting resolutions for the months ahead. While resolutions are valuable, they can often rely heavily on your own strength, discipline, and determination. Instead of striving in your own effort, I encourage you to commit your plans, goals, and works to the Lord. When you invite Him into your decision-making and surrender your desires to His will. He aligns your thoughts and establishes a path for success that glorifies Him.

Committing your plans to God doesn’t mean giving up on your dreams; it means surrendering control and trusting His wisdom. God sees the beginning from the end and knows what is best for you. By seeking His will and direction, your plans are transformed into opportunities for His glory and personal growth.

As you enter 2025, pause to reflect on the goals you’ve set. Have you invited God into the process? Are your plans rooted in His Word and will? Commit your goals to Him, trusting that He will establish your thoughts and guide your steps.

Think it Over

What are three ways you can commit your plans to God this year?

1.Pray Over Every Goal:Begin with prayer, asking God for wisdom and guidance as you create your plans. Seek His approval and clarity for each step.

2.Align Your Plans with Scripture:Compare your goals with God’s Word. Do they reflect His character, purpose, and priorities? If not, ask Him to reshape your desires.

3.Trust in His Timing:Be patient as you commit your goals to God, trusting His timing is perfect. Avoid rushing without His direction, and remain open to His leading, even when it looks different from your expectations.

Prayer

Heavenly Father, As I commit my works to you God, I am assured that You will guide my thoughts, establish my plans, and bring about Your perfect will for my life. In Jesus' name, Amen
