As foretold by prophesy . . . or Oswald Chambers:

After sanctification, it is difficult to state what your purpose in life is, because God has moved you into His purpose through the Holy Spirit. He is using you now for His purpose throughout the world as He used His Son for the purpose of our salvation. If you seek great things for yourself, thinking, "God has called me for this and for that," you barricade God from using you. As long as you maintain your own personal interests and ambitions, you cannot be completely aligned or identified with God's interests. This can only be accomplished by giving up all of your personal plans once and for all, and by allowing God to take you directly into His purpose for the world. Your understanding of your ways must also be surrendered, because they are now ways of the world.

Today I choose to not overachieve, to let myself be free to readjust and move where the Lord guides. Today I choose to live for the Lord and not on my agenda. Today I give up my plans for my future. Today I give the Lord the reigns.

Reign me in Lord, align my heart with yours.
