On Tuesday’s video I shared with you that setting goals is typically not the problem for us; it’s the follow through that kills us.
We learned the problem is not the goal or the routine itself; the problem is the pattern of our response to our goals.
Reflecting and praying over the pattern of my responses in my relationships, ministry and health, one word came to mind.
I began to pray.
God give me the gift of awareness. Show me what you see. Help me to hear what you hear. Open my heart to those around me. Make me aware of your presence.
I took out my journal and wrote the following:
When I am in His presence then I am aware.
God’s presence = God’s awareness
When I’m in your presence I am calm. When I’m in your presence I can breathe. When I’m in your presence I can scatter love.
Sitting quietly in his presence I marveled at this revelation.
God is my life coach. He challenges me to be the best I can be while gently guiding me in truth. To remain accountable all I have to do is…
Living in His presence naturally creates a pattern of healthy, good, positive responses.
Jesus said in John 15:5, I am the vine; you are the branches. If a man remains in me and I in him, he will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing.
What is He speaking to your heart today? How is He coaching you? I would love to hear from you.
