What do you really want out of life?

What do you really want out of life?

April 26, 2024

What do you really want out of life? What is a dream that you want to be manifested in your life? What is it that you are seeking with all your heart trying to obtain, praying for it to come into reality? Is this want, this hope, this dream, or this prayer something you can live without? How will it affect your life if it never comes into being? Garth Brooks sings a song called, “Unanswered Prayers” it says, “Sometimes I thank God for unanswered prayers.” Sometimes in life we do not get what we want—life happens. Learning to make the most of your life is the key on the outcome of all those wants and wishes, whether you get what you want or not. Philippians 4:11-13 reads, “I am not saying this because I am in need, for I have learned to be content whatever the circumstances. I know what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to have plenty. I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation, whether well fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or in want. I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.” Sometimes trusting God is enough. Sometimes unanswered prayers are the answer from God. Sometimes just realizing that I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me is enough. God Bless. Amen.
