Following God's plan is never easy. In fact, it is the hardest thing we will have to face in life. We must put aside what we want to do or how we want our lives to be so that we can follow God's wonderful plan for our lives. Always remember, God will wreck your plans when He sees your plans are about to wreck you. Appreciate God and His plan for you, it shows us that we do have a purpose in the world. If you are lost on how to follow your path in life, this is just where to start to help you get there.
1. Pay attention
If you feel like God is giving you signs about a certain situation, He is. Listen to those signs and pay attention to when certain things are talked about more than once and it hits home with you. A couple months ago, my mind was in a crazy place and God kept giving me signs to let go of my past...to let go and to work on my future. I listened and now I'm happier than ever. Conversations, people, stories and quotes are all types of ways God tries to get you aware of what you have to do in order to follow His plan for you.
2. Get rid of the negativity
When God is trying to direct you to the right path and show you where you need to go and be in life, you need to let go of all the negativity in your life. Let go of all the toxic people in your life. Only stay close and connected with the people you lift you up and make you feel good about yourself and life. Be selfish in the fact of following God's plan. Get rid of the things that make you unhappy. Forget the past and let go of it all. You are on your way to God's great plan for you.
3. Start loving yourself
God needs for you to love yourself so you can fulfill His plan. Loving yourself fully is loving the life God gave you and appreciating it. Learn to love every aspect of life, good and bad. To follow God's plan, you have to be willing to let go of things that might get in the way of your path with God. In order to do that, loving yourself is the key ingredient in being able to let go of old ways and to accept the new ways you are soon to make. Devote your love and life to God. Don't get wrapped up in something if it isn't making your relationship with God stronger. Do not let something control your happiness, let God be in control of your happiness and emotions.
4. Go to church
Yes, it is a must to attend church. I just recently starting going to church again and it feels so good. It feels good to dedicate my Sunday morning listening to God's word. It is such a good and intense feeling whenever you leave church with all the new Word of God in your heart. I used to think that I could just focus on God on my own and not go to church, but that's not the case. Going to church opens your horizons on things God wants and expects from you. Once you fall in love with yourself and love who you are, bring that awesome personality to Church and let it be filled with God's Word.
5. Trust in Him and Pray
Do not doubt God's plan for you. Trust in Him. Trust that He will lead you where you need to go. Have faith in Him and know that He will work wonders in your life if you dedicate your life to following His plan for you. It all comes down to your faith in God and how much you will be willing to trust Him and what He has planned for you. It may not be clear or be seen right away on what your purpose and plan is, but if you keep seeking God, eventually your plan and purpose will become crystal clear to you. Pray every night and during the day. Pray when you feel sad or happy. Pray especially when you are feeling thankful. Do not forget to have your alone time with God and to have your one on one conversations with Him. He looks forward to hearing from you. Prayer is powerful and will help you to follow His plan for you.
