To live a life driven by belief and guided by your divine purpose, it's essential to align your intentions with the desires of your heart. Just as a skilled navigator charts a course before setting sail, identifying your God-given purpose sets the stage for a meaningful and fulfilling life. That's easy to say, if you know your purpose. But what if you don't?
First, when seeking to find your purpose, the most potent source to turn to is God Himself. Even if you are not sure what your calling is, by committing your efforts to Him you are asking His divine guidance. It's a partnership in which God directs your path and establishes your plans.
Second, many people look at their life focusing only on the negative aspects, thinking "if only I could stop doing this" or "if only I didn't do that." Don't make this mistake. Cast your sights on what you want to become, not on what you don't want to be. Often, we unintentionally dwell on the negative aspects of our life. God's vision for you will be on what is possible, not what is.
Third, as you seek God's counsel, let your prayers echo the aspirations of your heart—what you want to become. Shift from praying against what you don't want to praying for what you desire. Envision yourself living your purpose, asking God to help you get there. It's a subtle shift with monumental consequences.
Finally, having placed your aspirations before God, seeking his guidance, arise from your prayers and align your life with what you seek. One thing is for certain, unless you change your life and start pursuing the possible, you cannot expect your life to be any different.
