Listen to Praying the Promises
Philippians 3:14-“I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.”
One of the greatest hindrances to progress is living without a clear sense of purpose. Without knowing why you are running, it becomes easy to lose focus, become discouraged, or be distracted by life’s challenges. Purpose provides clarity and fuels the determination needed to overcome obstacles. The Apostle Paul exemplified this when he declared his commitment to press toward the mark for the high calling of God. His purpose-driven mindset gave him the resilience to navigate challenges and remain steadfast in his pursuit of God’s will.
Purpose is the compass that aligns your actions with God’s divine plan for your life. When you are driven by purpose, your decisions reflect what truly matters, helping you avoid distractions and stay on course. This alignment positions you to experience divine acceleration because you are walking in step with God’s perfect timing and plan. Like Paul, you must discover and embrace your God-given purpose, keeping your focus on fulfilling it to the glory of God.
Ask God to reveal or confirm His purpose for your life. Write down the vision He gives you, pray over it, and take intentional steps toward its fulfillment. As you pursue your purpose with clarity and diligence, you will find the grace and speed to accomplish things beyond your natural ability, running your race and finishing it well.
START-UP PRAYER:
Oh Lord, open my eyes to understand the purpose You have for my life and help me remain focused and aligned with Your will so that I may run with divine speed and fulfill my calling in Jesus Name.
