Release: 10 Days to Embrace God's Plan for Your Life

DAY 6 OF 10

Seek the Kingdom of God above all else, and live righteously, and He will give you everything you need. MATTHEW 6:33

Have you ever been pursued by a love interest in a way that was honoring and respectful? Did it catch you off guard? Being in a relationship with someone who genuinely cares about your dreams and goals is so refreshing.

God desires us to pursue Him with our whole hearts. He not only wants to show us who we are in Him, but He wants us to get to know Him as our creator and our friend. Seeking God is the beginning of this pursuit and being curious about God is the fuel. As we find ourselves hungry to know more, He will reveal more. That revelation is bait to come deeper into the knowledge of who He is and how He functions in our lives.

So, what causes us not to pursue God? Distraction. We fill our calendars with to-dos such as the church bake sale, our kids’ choir concert, board meetings, and wellness appointments—all of these things are good! But are you finding time to get to know God? What is distracting you today? What has your undivided attention? What habits do you need to break to reset your gaze upon the One who holds your future?

Prayer:

Father, I release every distraction that’s holding me back from pursuing You and seeking You with all my heart, mind, and soul. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

Scripture

About this Plan

Release: 10 Days to Embrace God's Plan for Your Life

When our lives don’t go exactly how we think they should, we may question God’s plan for us. Release is a 10-day plan designed to help readers learn to embrace God’s greater purpose for their past, present, and future. Relinquishing our best laid plans and recognizing that His dreams are bigger (and wilder) than ours is the key to experiencing more fulfillment in Christ, regardless of our circumstances.
