Goals, Hopes, and Dreams – Day 7

July 22, 2018


This is how it usually works. I realize I want something. Then I want it so badly it drives me crazy. But I can’t have it. I’m finally forced into letting go, surrendering to God’s Will, taking the next step and doing the next thing, even though it’s not what I want. Somewhere along the line, my efforts start to transform into what I said I wanted.

Setting goals is magical. So is God’s Will.

Prayer: Show me which dreams to pursue. Teach me the value of what I want and what you want for me.

From the book: 52 Weeks of Conscious Contact
