FROM STRUGGLES TO SUCCESS

So many of us struggle about doing what we truly want to do. We are unhappy in our jobs. We feel like we aren’t making a difference in our communities. We feel as if we are going day by day doing the same thing and getting nowhere. However, God has a purpose for our lives. He created us for a unique reason. He gave us special talents. He wants us to succeed. If we want to know God’s purpose for our lives, we need to learn to put Him first. Learning to put God first in our lives will be the beginning step to move from struggling to success. We can learn from our struggles.

SCRIPTURE: Romans 12:2 “Don’t copy the behavior and customs of this world, but let God transform you into a new person by changing the way you think. Then you will learn to know God’s will for you, which is good and pleasing and perfect.” (NLT)

ACTION STEPS:
1. List what you are struggling with today.
2. Write down what success would like in that area.
3. Pray asking God to show you His will.
4. Study God’s word and ask Him to show you how to learn from your struggles.

PRAYER: Dear Lord, we know there are things You want us to do while we are here on this earth. We know You created us for a certain purpose. We also know we are unhappy with life because we aren’t living out the purpose You created us for. Help us to remember to put You first each and every day. Help us to seek out Your will and Your purpose so we are living the life You created us to live. We want to stop struggling in this world and start succeeding because we are focused on doing Your will. Show us what we can learn from our struggles and how we can put that learning into helping others. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

REMEMBER:
If we are struggling in any area of our lives, we need to put God first in that area and seek His will.

Doing God’s will means getting away from the humdrum routine and stepping out of our comfort zone for Him.

To learn from our struggles and do God’s will, we need to get into God’s word.

Learning to put God first will help us know what tasks He wants us to carry out every day.

FOCUS: John 9:4a “We must quickly carry out the tasks assigned us by the one who sent us.” (NLT)

God has something for us to do today. Let’s not tarry but instead carry out doing His will.
