Hi my friends, welcome to Day 10 of our 30-Day Dream Big Challenge and it's all about the
power of prayer and praying for clarity.
James 1, 5 says, If you lack wisdom, let him ask God, who gives generously to all without
reproach, and it will be given to him.
So prayer is a powerful tool that we can use not only to connect with God and to seek his
heart and in relationship, but also to seek guidance and clarity, especially as we're
charting waters that we haven't been to before or going and taking new territory towards
our dream, we need wisdom and clarity.
And when we bring our dreams before God, we open ourselves up to his wisdom and his direction.
So take time today and pause and seek his counsel regarding your aspirations.
When we seek time intentionally for prayer, you know, God is just there to meet us.
He wants to build relationship and commune with us and he always has something to say.
And so ask God for your next steps and discernment around his will for your life.
I mean, there is so often times in my own life where I get this desire or I know God's
calling me to do something, but wow, do we need discernment in the timing and the seasons
and whether we should take action now or in the future, or even how to break out those
plans of action into smaller steps so that we're not overwhelmed.
And then also ask, you know, Holy Spirit, how to flow with him.
What is he doing?
You know, I love how Jesus says, you know, in the New Testament that he only did the
will of the father and God always blessed it.
You know, the people he connected with, the miracles that he did, you know, they were
all happened because he aligned what he was doing, his actions with the will of God.
So make sure you're taking time for that.
And then trust, trust, you know, even in times of silence or if you're not hearing from
him or you don't know what to do, go based on the last word that you've got.
Sometimes for me, when I feel like God's maybe not as clear as he usually is in my
life, I have to go back to the previous word.
And am I following that?
Am I in obedience?
You know, did I do the things that he asked me to do?
Do I need to ask for forgiveness?
And so take time today to seek God in prayer.
So our activation is how can prayer guide you in your dream journey?
Like you have to have prayer as your spiritual GPS to make sure you're on track.
And then set time today for focus prayer specifically around your dream, asking God
for clarity, wisdom and direction.
OK, so let me pray for you, my friend.
So, God, just thank you for the power of prayer.
Thank you for this gift that we can connect with you, that the Holy Spirit can pray
through us, that you can give us wisdom and discernment.
God, I bless my friends.
They would trust the plans and purposes you have for their life.
God, that they would commit their dream to you, that you would bring them clarity.
In Jesus name, amen.
All right, my friends, see you tomorrow.
