For Christians who have reached their goals and dreams & are successful and happy.....................?

Question

Were there any times on your path that you were doubtful and felt like your goal/vision was impossible for you to reach? How many times did you have to reorganize and adjust your plans when they seem to be failing? Did you ever doubt your faith? Did you ever feel like God wasn't listening to your prayers? Did you ever feel like you weren't reaping what you were sowing and your hard work wasn't getting you anywhere?

Answer 1

whatsoever a man thinketh in his heart so is he. Yes, I have accomplished my earthly goals.
Failure means not recognizing there needs to be constant changes in your life for growth. To do the same thing over and over and expect different results is failure.
Never doubted my faith.
To see if God listened to my prayers I did a couple things. I wrote out all my problems on one sheet of paper on the left side. On the right side of the paper I labeled it God's provisions and filled it in as God answered. He answered all but 2 items which really did not matter anyway.
Some people were made to sow, some are to reap. How do we know our work is not getting us anywhere? That is not for us to judge, we do not know how many seeds we plant along the way. You hard work is giving you perserverence, experience, and is encouraging to others...keep it up.

Answer 2

A Christian doesn't reach their goal until they see Christ. Every Christian has felt as you are feeling, but as Apostle Paul said, "persevere and finish the race." Stay in the Word of God and put on the whole armor of God because we are doing spiritual warfare. And the battlefield is in the mind. Stand firm and do not waiver. You will overcome these trials.
We all must go through them. We will have them until we are called home.

Answer 3

For me the greatest success is to know exactly God's plan and purpose for my life. From the time I became born again I have been led by the Spirit of God in my walk of faith and I wait on God to enfold His plan and purpose for me in His time. The first prioirty for me is to know the Spirit well to listen to Him to direct my ways and I know that cannot make my own plans if I want to be in God's will. I have enjoyed God's direction, grace, mercy and blessings in my life for which I am very thankful to the Father, Son and Holy Spirit. In prayer, I pray in tongues more to allow the Holy Spirit help me pray for all things to work together for the good of myself and for all others that I have prayed for.
