In this episode from our She Impacts Culture Devotional Series, we're diving deep into the theme of "What Are You Pursuing?" Corrie leads us through a reflective and spiritually enriching devotional. We're drawing inspiration from Episode #66 of the She Impacts Culture podcast, “What Are You Pursuing? with Dr. Jen Bennett”, focusing on aligning our desires with God's will and seeking His guidance in all our endeavors.

We'll be guided by Psalm 37:4-6 to understand the importance of committing our work and relationships to the Lord. We'll share prayers for those feeling overwhelmed, offer reflections to inspire clarity and discernment, and provide practical steps to help you realign your pursuits with God's purpose.

So, take a moment to pause, find a quiet space, and open your heart as we embark on this journey of spiritual renewal and activation. Whether you need a word of affirmation, a moment of prayer, or simply some guidance, this devotional series is here to encourage and uplift you.

Psalm 37:4-6

ESV (English Standard Version)

Delight yourself in the Lord, and he will give you the desires of your heart. Commit your way to the Lord; trust in him, and he will act. He will bring forth your righteousness as the light, and your justice as the noonday.

NLT (New Living Translation)

Take delight in the Lord, and he will give you your heart’s desires. Commit everything you do to the Lord. Trust him, and he will help you. He will make your innocence radiate like the dawn, and the justice of your cause will shine like the noonday sun.

NIV (New International Version)

Take delight in the Lord, and he will give you the desires of your heart. Commit your way to the Lord; trust in him and he will do this: He will make your righteous reward shine like the dawn, your vindication like the noonday sun.
