Day 7 - Prayer Journal: Wisdom Keys

Scripture

"Wisdom [is] the principal thing; [therefore] get wisdom: and with all thy getting get understanding." - Proverbs 4:7



For years, I have thought about my desire to achieve my "bucket" dreams, things I want to do before I kick the bucket. I have plenty of everyday dreams and goals, but some of my bucket dreams include my dream of publishing my book, opening a group home, and adopting a child. These may be simple things for some people. Many people in the world have already achieved these things, but they are my God-sized dreams, things I need God to breathe life into so that they happen and are a blessing to not only me but to the people whose lives will be forever changed by the desires God has put in my heart.

Life is full of many opportunities, and there are so many dreams and goals that we hope to fulfill. Some of our desires are simple things that are within our reach. Others are much bigger than us. These are the God-sized dreams that God has planted in our hearts so that we must lean on Him in order to fulfill them and succeed. Too often people leave their dreams on the shelves of their hearts because they believe that life has passed them by or they think that they don't have what it takes to achieve what they really want. But God wants us to dream, and dream big, much bigger than anything you can do. If we only believe in the things that we can do, we leave no room for God to do the miraculous in our lives.

Focus

• What dreams did you have when you were younger or when your situation seemed more feasible?
• What dreams have gone unfulfilled in your life? What things have you desired but believe it is too late to achieve?
• What are your God-given dreams? What things seem almost impossible for you to accomplish and would take God in order to do them?
• Seek God for the God-sized dreams that He has for you.
• Ask God to give you wisdom in every area of your life, especially in the area of life goals and dreams that are yet to be fulfilled.
• Record any ideas that God reveals to you about things that God has placed in your heart to do or to be.
• Pray for God to send the right people into your life who are connected to His plan for your life.

Remember

Today is Father's Day, don't forget to lift up the men in your life, whether they are fathers or not. Ask God to give you the wisdom in dealing with the men in your life, husbands, fathers, brothers, uncles, ex-whatevers. Watch God change things in that area !

Be Blessed!
