As I press deeper into S3, I find the physical sacrifice far less of a sacrifice - mostly. In my experience, the body is much more easily trained than the mind.. As I grapple with the mountain of decisions that a season of transition inevitably brings I have to constantly remind myself to replace worry with faith and complaints with praise.
While I find myself reasonably successful in this moment by moment pursuit, my prayer is that this discipline will be habit forming and life transforming. But for now, I focus only on this moment because in all honesty, that is often all I can handle.
Day 9 Thanksgiving: PurposeIt is a wonderful thing to know your life has purpose. Greater still to know WHAT your purpose is in life. And indescribable to have the privilege of walking IN that purpose ON purpose. I am truly blessed. Although I don't always know the "how" or the "when", it is comforting to know the "what" for "Who" to "whom" and "why". Rather than stressing over what is yet to be revealed, I will offer thanks for the privilege of walking out the purpose to which I am called.
Day 9 Prayer: Lord I pray for everyone who is seeking guidance today. They suspect that they are here for a reason but struggle to discover their God-given purpose. I pray that you would speak to these hearts and reveal to them the purpose for which they are created. Surround them with mentors and peers who will support and encourage with sound wisdom and continuous intercession.
