God dreams always move me

God dreams are always good

Personal Reflection Guide

Find a quiet space where you can sit for a few moments in God’s presence. Spend a moment reflecting on the desires that you have in your life. Be open to whatever may come up in you. Invite God into this space and ask him to give life to it so that you might dream with him. You might find that there is a dream that seems bigger than you are or not big enough. Invite God into this space, too, and ask him how this dream will serve him and his kingdom. As you close this time, ask God what it would look like to take your next step to walk these dreams out in your life with him.
