"God will give you what you need if you will just make the choice to live for him."
Right now, God is inviting you to live for his glory by fulfilling the purposes he made you for. It's really the only way to live. Everything else is just existing. Real life begins by committing yourself completely to Jesus Christ.

God's Direct ANSWERS:
"Trusting God completely means having faith that he knows what is best for your life. You expect Him to keep His promises, help you with problems and do the impossible when necessary."
DAY10: April 28, Sunday 8:42am-9:25am (33min)
The HEART of WORSHIP is SURRENDER
Victory comes through surrender. Surrender doesn't weaken you; it strengthens you. Surrendered to God, you don't have to fear or surrender to anything else.
Surrendering your life is not a foolish emotional impulse but a rational, intelligent act, the most responsible and sensible thing you can do with your life.

Here's my life Lord. Speak what is true. Thank you for giving me this clarity. I'm alone again. Stay with me Lord. Be my light. I belong to you. I will wait on you. You will fight my battles. All I need is to stay still.
Tell God exactly how you feel:
Lord God, I feel very frustrated, lonely & almost desperate. I've been waiting for a very long time and I've been asking for the same thing from you since time immemorial. I'm still alone watching everyone around me get into serious relationships, nurture it for years, settle down, get married, build a family, start new chapters of their lives. While I stay grounded, in a very slow pace, stuck just watching everyone. It's very frustrating Lord.

Personal Assessment 10 DAYS
Is something still standing your way? If so, what will you do differently to overcome it?
She's bothering me. What happened to us is always on my mind. I know it's killing her to her core. She reached out to me Monday morning. She can't help it. I know. Because it's bothering me as well. Moving forward I will remove any attachment I have with her. It's over! Until she admits defeat ->That she's still head over heels 'still' in love with me. Til then, I'd talk to her again.
In retrospect, she doesn't really need to admit anything I guess. Her actions speak louder than I ever expected. All her gestures raise the white flag. She's already there, still there, and at a point of no return. She can't go back. We both can't go back. We can pretend to just be indifferent to keep things stable and status quo but her energy will speak for herself and I will still be able to hear it loud and clear.
And here goes my cognitive dissonance..
Dear God,
Please give me a vision of what my life will be like as I become what you have planned for me.
WRITE IT DOWN BELOW AS SOON AS REVEALED.
DAY 22: May 9, Thur 6:09a - 6:46a (37min) -7:19a (36min) = 1hr & 13 min
I don't deserve your love Father but you love me all the way. Thank you for filling me with your love. I feel complete already. Lead me to your plans for me Lord. Prepare me to be ready for my other half's ever lasting love. My forever. Equip me to be ready for the next chapter of my life.
* I must make a counter culture decision to focus on becoming more like Jesus. Otherwise, other forces like peers, parents, coworkers & culture will try to mold you into their image.
DAY 23: May 10, Fri 6:32a-7am (28min) - 7:22am (50min)
Lord God Father, give me grace and the will and the strength to settle down with a man you picked for me. I pray that you give me the passion tantamount to his that we unite in Your name. It will be fluid that we get the message that it's Your will.
DAY 24: May 11, Sat 7:31am - 8am (29min) - 8:34am (34min) = 1hr & 3min
DAY 25: May 12, Sun 5:55am-6:28am (33min)
It is vital that you stay focused on God's plan, not your pain or problem.
"If we share his glory, we must also share his suffering. What we suffer now is nothing compared to the glory he will give us later."
Rejoice in the Lord always.
Stay with me Lord. Be my light. I belong to You.
DAY 26: May 13, Mon 5:34am-6:20am (46min) -6:58 (38min) = 1hr & 24min
I'm feeling empty since earlier. Depression is creeping in I guess. There's just no one to talk to or connect with. It's like dopamine is no where to be found. I've no energy to make myself excited or crave for anything. Like what for? Food will make me fat & will ruin my flow. I'm not even hungry. What just happened? I thought I got everything handled the right way. It's been a while since I last felt this.
Stay with me Lord. Be my light. I belong to You.
Holy Spirit please come to me! LOVE, JOY, PEACE, PATIENCE, KINDNESS, GOODNESS, FAITHFULNESS, GENTLENESS & SELF-CONTROL

We arrive at real maturity - that measure of development which is meant by the 'fullness of Christ.' Christlikeness is your eventual destination, but your journey will last a lifetime.
This journey involves: believing (through worship), belonging (through fellowship) & becoming (through discipleship)
DAY 29: May 16, Thur 6:22am-7:10am (48min) -7:57a (47min) 1 hr & 35 min
You pulled me from darkness and clothed me in garments of praise.
DAY 30: May 17, Fri 6:26a-7:28a (1hr & 2min)

If you're going to be a servant, you must settle your identity in Christ. Only secure people can serve. Insecure people are always worrying about how they appear to others. They fear exposure of their weaknesses & hide beneath layers of protective pride & pretenses.
DAY 35: May 22, Wed 6:07a-6:23a (16min) 6:48a-7:21a (33min) =49min
God purposely chose... what the world considers weak in order to shame the powerful.
We are more likely to be compassionate & considerate of the weaknesses of others. Your greatest life messages and your most effective ministry will come out of your deepest hurts.
God gives grace to the humble but many misunderstand humility. Humility is not putting yourself down or denying your strengths, rather it is being honest about your weaknesses. Pretentiousness repels but authenticity attracts & vulnerability is the pathway to intimacy.
DAY 36: May 23, Thur 6:15a-6:55a (40min) - 7:39a (44min) = 1hr &24min
If you will commit to fulfilling your mission in life no matter what it costs, you will experience the blessing of God in ways that few people ever experience.
DAY 37: May 24, Fri 6:23a-6:42a (19min) break 12min 6:54a-7:42a = 1hr & 17min
The good news shows how God makes people right with himself - that it begins & ends with faith.
DAY 38: May 24, 8:54p-9:45p (1hr & 9min) - 10:37p (52min) = 2hrs & 1min
>To make the most of your time on earth, you must maintain an external perspective. This will keep you from majoring on minor issues and help you distinguish between what's urgent and what's ultimate.
"We fix our eyes on what's seen, but on what is unseen is eternal."
"Overwhelm me with your glory, I surrender."
>Our greatest lessons come out of pain. God keeps a record or our tears.
Who am I to deny what the Lord can do? All it takes is nothing.
DAY 39: May 26, Sun 6:38a-6:44a (6min) 7:15a-8:22a =1hr & 13min
Don't let the errors of evil people lead you down the wrong path & make you lose your balance.
Our minds are sharpened and our convictions are deepened through conversation.
The bible says: "Encourage each other and give each other strength."
"Test yourselves to make sure you are solid in faith. Don't drift along taking everything for granted. Give yourselves regular check ups... Test it out. If you fail the test, do something about it."
For our spiritual health, you need to regularly check the five vital signs of worship, fellowship, growth in character, ministry and mission.
Jeremiah advised, "Let's take a good look at the way we're living and reorder our lives under God."
Paul urged, "Let your enthusiastic idea at the start be equaled by your realistic action now."
Bible: "It's crucial that we keep a firm grip on what we've heard so that we don't drift off." We remember what we record.
2Peter 3:17
DAY 40: May 27, Mon 6:06a-6:43a (37min) - 7:55a 1hr & 12 min, 1 hr & 49min
>When God's at the center, you worship. When he's not, you worry. The moment you put him back at the center, you will have peace again. The Bible says, "A sense of God's wholeness... will come and settle you down. It's wonderful what happens when Christ displaces worry at the center of your life.
It's easy to drift away from what matters most and slowly get off course. To prevent this, you should develop a purpose statement for your life and then review it regularly.
>Many are the plans in a man's heart, but it is the Lord's purpose that prevails.
LIFE PURPOSE STATEMENT - statement that points the direction of your life.
Writing down your purposes on paper will force you to think specifically about the path of your life.
-a statement that defines "success" for you
-a statement that clarifies your roles
-a statement that expresses your shape
>reflects the unique ways God made you to serve him.
LIFE'S FIVE GREATEST QUESTIONS
1) What will be the center of my life? (worship)
2) What will be the character of my life? (discipleship) -PAGE 315 TOP PART
3) What will be the contributioin of my life? (service) -PAGE 315 MID PART
4) What will be the communication of my life? (mission)
5) What will be the community of my life? (fellowship)
5 PURPOSES HE CREATED US FOR or 5 PURPOSES FOR YOUR LIFE:
1) TO LOVE HIM (WORSHIP)
He made you to be a member of his family.
2) TO BE PART OF HIS FAMILY (DISCIPLESHIP)
A model of his character.
3) TO BECOME LIKE HIM (SERVICE)
A magnifier of his glory.
4) TO SERVE HIM (MISSION)
A minister of his grace.
5) TO TELL OTHERS ABOUT HIM (FELLOWSHIP)
A messenger of his Good News to others.
*BE ready at all times to answer anyone who asks you to explain the hope you have in you, but do it with gentleness and respect. The best way to "be ready" is to write out your testimony and then memorize the main points. Divide it into four parts:
1. What my life was like before I met Jesus.
2. How I realized I needed Jesus.
3. How I committed my life to Jesus.
4. The difference Jesus made in my life.
Of course you have many other testimonies besides your salvation story. You have a story for every experience in which God has helped you. You should make a list of all the problems circumstances and crisis that God has brought you through. Then be sensitive and use the story that your unbelieving friend will relate to best. Different situations call for different testimonies.
Your life message includes your life lessons. The second part of your life message is the truths that God has taught you from experiences with him. These are lessons and insights you have learned about God, relationships, problems, temptations, and other aspects of life.
A few questions to jog your memory and get you started.
>What has God taught me from failure?
>What has God taught me from lack of money?
>What has God taught me from pain or sorrow or depression?
>What has God taught me through waiting?
>What has God taught me through illness?
>What has God taught me from disappointment?
>What have I learned from my family, my church, my relationships, my small group, and my critics?
