Summary
In today’s devotional, we’re launching a brand new series looking at various promises our heavenly Father makes towards us, and creating space to take hold of them a little bit more every day. Today we’re looking at how God promises us his will, and how we can live our lives in connection to his desires and plans for us. May God stir our hearts to surrender anything that isn’t best for us, and may he empower us to take hold of his passion, and his desires, that we might align our lives with his will.
Our Scripture for today comes from Ephesians 1:9-10, and today's worship is Promises by Maverick City Music.

Thank you for listening to today’s podcast, the first in our weeklong series looking at the promises of God.
Taking hold of God’s promises can be really challenging, especially if there’s been a time where we felt like God didn’t come through for us. So if you feel like your heart is blocked up at all this week as we focus on this subject of God’s promises, I want to encourage you, before you press plan on this podcast, to take a moment and ask for God’s healing.
Sometimes just his nearness, a revelation of his goodness, can help soften those parts of our hearts that have become hardened over time.

Have a wonderful rest of your day, and may God bless you as you seek him.
