Spirit-Led Goal Setting: The Power of Divine Guidance

As we continue planning for 2025, we've gathered information and reflected on patterns. Now, we reach a crucial step in our G.R.A.S.P. F.A.I.T.H. framework - Ask for God's Guidance. Remember, we're seeking Alignment In The Highest Purpose in all our planning.

Moving Beyond Simple Prayer

While prayer is foundational, asking for God's guidance involves more than presenting our plans and requesting His blessing. It's about creating space for divine dialogue and being ready to receive His direction.

Three Ways to Seek God's Guidance

1. Create Sacred Space

• Set aside dedicated time without distractions
• Find a quiet place where you can listen
• Bring your gathered information and reflections
• Keep your journal ready for insights

2. Ask Specific Questions

Start with:

• "Lord, what do You want to accomplish through us in 2025?"
• "Where should we focus our resources and energy?"
• "What might we need to let go of?"
• "How can we better serve Your purposes?"

3. Listen Actively

Look for God's response through:

• Scripture reading and meditation
• Wise counsel from trusted advisors
• Confirmation through circumstances
• Peace in your spirit about decisions

A Simple Daily Practice

This week, try this simple rhythm:

Morning (15 minutes)

• Present your plans to God
• Read a relevant Scripture
• Listen for His response
• Journal any insights

Evening (5 minutes)

• Review the day's guidance
• Note any confirmations
• Express gratitude for the clarity received

Recognizing God's Voice

As you seek guidance, look for direction that:

• Aligns with Scripture
• Brings supernatural peace
• Confirms previous nudges
• Serves others, not just yourself

Your Next Steps

This Week:

• Schedule your daily seeking times
• List your specific questions for God
• Share your journey with a prayer partner

Looking Ahead:

• Stay patient in the process
• Keep your heart open to unexpected answers
• Trust His timing

Next week, we'll explore the 'S' in G.R.A.S.P. F.A.I.T.H. - Strategize Wisely. The clarity you receive during this time of asking will form the foundation for developing Spirit-led strategies for 2025.

Remember, seeking God's guidance isn't a one-time event but a continuous conversation. As you ask and listen this week, trust that He is faithful in guiding those who seek Him wholeheartedly.
