PERSONAL PRAYER TO CONSIDER THIS WEEK:
Heavenly Father,
In the mighty name of Jesus Christ, I come before You, acknowledging Your command to spread Your teachings and love across the earth. Today, I seek to be empowered by Your Holy Spirit that I might begin to fulfill the Great Commission You have entrusted to me. I ask for Your divine wisdom and strength to reflect Christ in every aspect of my life.
Father, as I strive to know You better, to be steadfast in prayer and in the study of Your Word, empower me also to improve my health, to strengthen my body and my mind, that I may serve You with all that I am. Bless my family and relationships, let them be rooted in Your love and grace. Guide me in my career and finances, that I may use these resources wisely and for Your glory.
Grant me joy in recreation and true fellowship in my church community. Teach me to balance all these areas, using them as a training ground to grow deeper in my faith and broader in my influence.
As I extend my reach into the Seven Domains of Influence—religion, family, education, government, media, arts and entertainment, and business—empower me to begin transforming these spheres with Your truth and light. May my actions inspire others to seek You, as I lead by example in pursuing Your teachings and character.
Holy Spirit, fill every vacated space with Your presence. Command any darkness that seeks to hinder this mission—fear, doubt, and worry—to flee.
In Jesus’ mighty name, I pray, I believe, and I trust. Amen.
*Feel free to modify this prayer your own version, aligning it with your heart, voice and understanding. This prayer is a blend of concepts we are delving into,, namely the christian wheel of life, the domains of influence, and the great commission.

NOT SURE WHAT TO DO THIS WEEK? This week, we ask that you consider these four ideas:
Foundation of Purpose: Ground your dreams in your life's purpose as guided by faith. Recognize and affirm your purpose through scripture and prayer, keeping your focus on the intrinsic value of your dream as you navigate criticism, struggles, and doubt.
Community and Fellowship: Align yourself with a community of believers who support and encourage your aspirations. Foster relationships with those who reinforce your efforts, and reciprocate by championing others’ dreams, creating a mutual environment of growth and encouragement.
Wisdom and Discernment: Exercise wisdom to distinguish between constructive feedback and harmful negativity. Protect your heart and mind by seeking wisdom in your interactions, and setting boundaries to maintain a healthy perspective rooted in faith.
Resilience and Growth: Build spiritual resilience by embracing a growth mindset that sees challenges as opportunities for improvement. Celebrate progress in your spiritual journey, and persevere through trials, keeping your eyes fixed on the promises of God as you strive towards fulfilling your dreams.
By focusing on these four biblical principles, you can navigate the pursuit of your dreams with a balance of personal reflection, community support, discernment, and resilient growth, all within a biblical framework.
