If I came up to you and said, “Do you believe God can do anything? Do you believe He is all powerful?” You would say an unequivocal, “Yes!” You would say that you serve a mountain-­‐making, mountain-­‐moving, earth shaking, sky shattering, miracle working, raising the dead, healing the sick God who can do anything! But I want to ask do you really believe that when it comes to your life?

Years ago I did an activity from a workbook where I wrote down every desire I had good or bad, healthy or unhealthy. I thought about what I really wanted in life and what my desires or passions were. With each desire I asked is this a true, God-given desire? Many were good desires, but they were in conflict with another good desire. So I had to make some well-defined choice. I learned that to get anywhere on my journey conflicting desires will keep me stuck. We can’t do everything, but we must do what God wants us to do.

Are you stuck? Do you want to do something to change how you feel and how you can get out of the funk you find yourself in daily? Do you want to renew your life? You can but it will take intentional effort.
