Sometimes life becomes overwhelming especially when you can’t seem to find enough time in the day to fulfill your daily obligations.

During those difficult times, your purpose in life can become blurred and you lose sight of your vision.

Do not despair! Simply remind yourself of the plan that God has for you to live a rich and meaningful life on this earth.

Be the light

God’s plan for you

God wants you to know who you are in Him

God said you are His workmanship and His work is marvelous. His plans are to prosper you and to give you a future and hope.

It is not God’s desire for you to perish in this sinful world but for you to come into repentance by surrendering your life to Him.

God wants you to be the light

As children of God, the Lord has set you apart to be an example to others.

Your life should be a light that illuminates this dark world. Don’t be afraid to shine.

God wants you to live at peace with your brethren

God has endowed you with His peace that passes all understanding so that you can live peaceably with all men.

God wants you to call on Him when you are in trouble

The Lord is a present help in times of trouble so never forget to call on Him first during troublesome times.

He will give you the wisdom to guide you and He will strengthen you.

God wants you to control your thoughts

It is difficult but if you ensure all your thoughts are in obedience to obedience to the Holy Spirit your wayward thoughts will be controlled.

God wants you to flee from temptation

Proverbs 1:10 says, “My son, if sinners entice you, Do not consent.”

Similar to Joseph sometimes you have to physically run from temptations.

Let your fountain be blessed, and rejoice with the wife of your youth. For why should you, my son, be enraptured by an immoral woman, and be embraced in the arms of a seductress?

(Proverbs 5:18,20)

The Lord promised to make a way of escape out of every temptations so trust Him to do so.

God wants you to persevere

Most times your good deeds will go unnoticed and unrewarded. You will feel discouraged but do not give up.

Remind yourself that God will reward you in due course.

God has provided everything in this life to give you meaning and purpose. Let His Word be the motivation that you need to press on.
