You Are Destined For Greatness
Do you worry a lot about the future? Do you spend a lot of time wondering if things will ever get better, or if life will always be this difficult?Even when life seems bleak or you feel like the greatest failure, God is still working behind the scenes to make you into a champion!
The Bible tells us that God didn’t create us to be victims or to suffer, but to do good works and to prosper. This doesn’t mean that life will always be easy or that things will always go your way; it just means that even in the hard times, God has a plan and is orchestrating everything to your good.
You may be thinking, “But how could He possibly turn my misery into something good?” Maybe one day you’ll be able to help someone through the same situation you’re going through right now. Maybe God wants you to fully rely on Him during this time in a way that you never have before. Whatever His reasons, you can rest assured that God’s plans are always greater than your own, and that if you let Him, He will one day utilize your talents, passions, and burdens to change the world. You are destined for greatness!
Take a moment now to pray this to God: God, thank You for creating me with a divine purpose. You’ve known since the beginning of time what my life’s calling is, and I thank You that even the tough times are part of Your plan for me. Please help me remember Your promises in Scripture--that You’ll bring me through this season of life to something great, and that my future is full of hope. I trust You with my life, God, and pray that You would use it to accomplish something incredible for You. In the name of Jesus I pray, amen.
