Have you ever wanted something so bad? Wanted to win that game, buy that car, move into that house? Has achieving things and receiving the recognition ever taken over.

I think we have all been guilty of this from time to time, but When our thought process is set on achievement is there room for God, and can we earn our way?

That is the focus of today’s post- We will dive into how the achievement mentality filters over from works-based religion, how even after we leave this sticks with you and how the world reinforces it. More importantly, we will discuss the 3 bible truths that will help us change our mindset from a focus of all personal success and move forward with grace.

When we walk away from everything we ever knew about who we through God is we can feel very lost for a long time. How do we support someone who is lost in life? How do we help ourselves when we are there? We have to learn to respect God’s timing and His process. Not everything is going to flow the way we think it should. His will be done. We also have to re-train ourselves to know that our feelings are our gauge, not our guide. We have to learn to turn to the word for answers and to know Him, not base our decisions on feelings as they can lead us astray. We don’t have all the answers. God wants to be our guide. And lastly, we need to learn to be still. To trust in Him to work it all out. Learn to understand surrender.
