INTRODUCTION
Goals are an important part of life. In order to live life with purpose and direction, we must adopt and pursue goals. Our goals can be experiences we desire to have and achievements we would like to accomplish. God has created us on purpose and with purpose so that we can live the abundant life He desires for us.

HAVE A VOLUNTEER READ 1 CORINTHIANS 2:9-10
Isn’t it wonderful news that our God has prepared great things for us? He never promised that life would be easy, but He is with us, for us, and guiding us every step of the way. What He has prepared for us, we are called to take hold of. It is the pursuit of what God has prepared for us that truly makes life worth living!
HAVE A VOLUNTEER READ ROMANS 8:37-39
It is easy to fall into the trap of despair and discouragement. When life doesn’t turn out like we plan or difficulties abound, this is a very easy trap to fall into. But God is not a God of failure. If He is for us, who (or what) can possibly be against us? We can walk forward with our heads held high knowing that God wins and is for us… completely!
APPLICATION
PRAYER
Pray that God would challenge you with new and exciting things He has prepared for your life and bring people and resources into your life to encourage you.
