I felt lost for a long time in my work and business. I needed to know God’s plan and purpose for my life. I didn’t want to run with my own ideas anymore, let alone run my business in my own strength. I didn’t want to achieve my dream of marriage and kids – or anything – unless it was from God and blessed by Him. Everything else I’d tried to do in my own strength hadn’t worked in the past. It had all failed miserably. It had broken me and left me feeling lost. 

I knew God’s plans for me wouldn’t break me; they would grow me. I also knew – because He is a good God – that my past of dating all the wrong men and going after everything in my life in my own strength would still be used for good. God is a God of grace. He is good, kind, slow to anger. His grace never runs out for the believer. He wants to bless us and see us prosper. We just have to follow, trust and obey Him, to see the fruits of our labour. 

… but his delight is in the law of the Lord, and on his law he meditates day and night. He is like a tree planted by streams of water that yields its fruit in its season, and its leaf does not wither. In all that he does, he prospers. (Psalms 1:2-3 ESV) 

God answered my ‘Godly vision and purpose’ prayer. In the next few months after these prayers, God showed me things and told me things, all of which I’m about to tell you in the hope that it will plant a seed of hope for your future – the future God has for you. 

What no eye has seen, what no ear has heard, and what no human mind has conceived – the things God has prepared for those who love Him – these are the things God has revealed to us by His Spirit. (1 Corinthians 2:9 ESV)
