heart & soul
Here are four steps you can take today to shift your perspective and see that what you do really does matter :
1 . Give Your Circumstances to God : Hand over your current circumstances and questions to God . Some practical ways you can do this is through prayer , listening to worship music , journaling or expressing gratitude for the day . I love changing my mindset from “ I have to ” to “ I GET to ” when I find myself wrestling with my circumstances .
2 . Invite God to Transform Your Heart : Ask God to use your present circumstances to transform your heart , shifting your focus from confusion and suffering to inviting God to work on what matters most — your heart .
3 . Trust in God ’ s Plan : Embrace the resistance you might be facing in this season , trusting that God ’ s plan is best . Lamentations 3:22 – 23 reassures us that His compassion never fails , and each day brings new possibilities .
4 . Strategize Ways You Can Live on Mission to Love God and Love People Where You Are : Decide how you want to live out your purpose in your everyday life . Think about where you are and who God has placed around you . How can you show up differently ? How can you be intentional ?
Your purpose doesn ’ t hit pause , even when life feels stuck on repeat
