THE CONFIDENT WOMAN DEVOTIONAL: YOUR HEART DESIRES

If you have been under a lot of stress lately, I encourage you to take an
honest inventory of not only what you are doing, but why you are doing it. If
fear is the reason you’re involved, eliminate some stress by getting your
priorities straight. Your priority is not to keep everyone else in your life
happy by doing all the things they expect; it is to live a life that is
pleasing to God and one that you can enjoy.

Too many people are not living their dreams because they are living their
fears. In other words, instead of doing things out of their heart, they do them
because they are afraid of what will happen if they don’t. “Someone will
get angry! I will get left out! People will talk about me!” It is time
that you started being the person you really want to be. It is time to reach
for your dreams.

Pray: Lord, I will delight myself in You today. You know the desires of my
heart, and I entrust my dreams to You. Help me to be the person You created me
to be. Amen.

From the book The Confident Woman Devotional by Joyce Meyer.
