How to Incorporate Gratitude, Prayer, and Scripture into Your Goal Setting!

When you set a goal, the easiest part is putting some pretty words and pictures up on your Vision Board. 

After that goal is on the vision board, we must do something about it! We have to take some action to start paving the way for that goal to be accomplished.

I have relied on divine inspiration for over a decade to select my goals and daily action steps. Here is how to do that:

Start with gratitude: Begin your goal-setting practice by expressing gratitude for the blessings and achievements in then, take life. Then, please take a few moments to reflect on what you're thankful for and write them down. This practice can help shift your mindset towards a positive outlook and help you appreciate your progress toward your goals.

Another way to use gratitude is to express gratitude for progress. As you progress towards your goals, express gratitude for your accomplishments. Celebrate the small wins and acknowledge your progress toward your larger aspirations. This practice can help you stay motivated and inspire you to keep pushing forward.

Prayer: Incorporate prayer into your goal-setting practice by taking a moment to pray for guidance and wisdom. Ask for help discerning which goals align with your purpose and mission and for the strength and perseverance to accomplish them by taking the daily steps that intuitively come to your mind. This can help you stay focused on your goals and remind you of the higher purpose behind your aspirations.

When you pray with the God of all creation, our Father, use that time to review and reflect. Incorporate regular interviews with Him to assess your progress and identify areas where you still need growth. Be open to how He might guide you to develop and strengthen yourself in the necessary ways to achieve the goal when you cross the finish line.

Scripture: Look for inspiration and guidance in scripture as you set and work on your goals. Allow yourself to be intuitively guided to passages that speak to your aspirations and reflect on how they can inform your decision-making and actions. You can also write down verses that inspire you and use them as affirmations or mantras to help you stay motivated and focused.

God may be able to speak to you more plainly in the written word than He can through heartfelt inspiration or intuitive thoughts. The scriptures are living words that can tell you precisely how you need to hear them. I hear people say that they can read the same verse repeatedly and get different meanings based on where they are in their lives and what they are ready to hear at that moment.

Keep Going!

Take time to reflect on how your gratitude, prayer, and scripture practices have helped you stay focused and motivated, and use this insight to refine your approach to goal-setting.
