Day of Prayer and Vision

I have a strong hunch that when we meet our Maker, we will breathlessly parade our noble activities, and he might well burst our busy bubble with a simple comment, "Hmmm, I never expected you to do all that."
Sybil Stanton in The 25 Hour Woman

Daily life sometimes seems designed to de-rail the decisions we've made. Life can certainly make it nearly impossible to acquire new habits. To follow through on decisions from your Day of Prayer and Vision, it will take unwavering focus and across-the-board commitment. Don't give up; it will be worth it!

Now's a good time to review:
• Read through the steps on this path and the journal entries you made.
• Reflect back to your "Day" and what the Lord said to you.
• Focus on action steps.
• Circle-back to your colleagues and tell them what you're thinking.
• Set a date to remind you to review this material again. (In a few weeks, the busy-ness you're trying to beat can cloud memories.)

Follow through on the directions the Lord clearly gave. If you're overwhelmed, just pick one item to incorporate into your life today. Taking action will give you encouragement to keep the process moving.

Don't stop here. What does it mean to be a person after God's own heart? Every decision you make needs to be the result of consulting with the Lord.

Even though you may not continue to journal regularly, summarize this experience in your Day of Prayer and Vision journal and keep it handy for future reference - you will need it!

Your final action step in this process should be to ink in another Day of Prayer and Vision on your calendar now!
