Our Identity In Desires And Goals

In metropolitan hubs like NYC, many of us identify with being ambitious in our goals and orienting our lives towards achieving them. However, a prevalent pitfall lies in how we may end up establishing our identities in our achievements and goals. After all, it is not unnatural to want our desires to come to fruition. But when our goals appear to be out of reach, blocked, or uncertain, eliciting negative thoughts and beliefs, how can we trust in the promise that the Father has plans to prosper us? When we recognize our true identities formed through salvation in Christ, trust him to do the heavy lifting for things outside of our control, and align ourselves to his plan, we may just find that there is peace of mind and heart in who we are and in the character of the one who is in control.
