Creating Captivating ClaritySample

How to shift into clarity

As we move into clarity, our vision begins to crystalize. As we examine where our expectations are grounded, we can shift our focus. Our God can do anything. He is perfect and sovereign – meaning He can do what He wills and the outcome is always what should be. If we know that He has given us sufficient grace for every situation, we must realize that accessing this grace and exchanging worry for peace requires that we renew and refocus our minds on Him. 

The moment I turned my focus back to God, I reprioritized my mind and dismissed the worrisome thoughts. As a result, I experienced peace. Sometimes the clarity you're looking for is not knowing the endgame for how something will work out. True clarity is the security you experience in knowing that through God's grace, it has already been worked out for you. This is clarity of spirit! Everything in your life is working out for the best as you prioritize God and walk with Him in love. The more you walk with God, the more you realize an important truth. Knowing it has already been worked out is a far more powerful realization than knowing how it will work out. (read that again)

 Clarity begins with shifting your focus. At some point, everyone experiences worry or a lack of clarity that is frustrating. The key is dismissing those thoughts before they turn into beliefs. A belief is a thought that you think over and over again until it is ingrained in your mind and emotions. You can change your thoughts, which change your beliefs, which in turn change your life by bringing you the peace and security that come with clarity. It's an active process defined in three steps:

Step 1: Identify the WHAT. What expectations are you placing on anything other than God? These are the seeds that will grow into lack of clarity and progress to worry.

Step 2: Prioritize God in each of those areas. Determine what God has said about each of these areas of your life. This is God's truth. Intentionally match each of your thoughts with the truth of what God has already said. 

Step 3: Intentionally think the thoughts of God. Determine to be reNEWed. Re means "to do it again." New means "introduced for the first time." Each time a thought arises in your mind, think about God's truth again like it's your first time.

This means approaching it with the wonder and excitement of a child, who anticipates joy and expects the best.
