Ideal Self Exercise Part Two
Now take your ideal self list and offer it to God. Offer that list to God by praying this prayer…
Dear Lord,
Here is my ideal self. Here is a description of everything I want out of life, all that I want to be. I lay my ideal self at your feet Lord Jesus. I ask you Lord to show me what on this list is your dream for me. As I read over this list again I ask that you prompt me on what on this list is of me and what on this list is your dream for me. Open my eyes to see myself through your eyes, help me to read this list in light of eternity. In Jesus Name I ask… Amen.
Now take your list and read it over, and over and over. Ask the Lord about each thing you wrote on your list to see if those are the things that God values about you. Read your list in light of eternity and see what will be left over. You might be surprised at what is left. Keep in mind scriptures like… God does not look at the outward appearance but God looks at the heart and Seek first the kingdom of God and His Righteousness and all these things will be added unto you.
Ideal Self Exercise Part Three
Now look at what is left on your Ideal Self List (Part Two) and ask the Lord to begin to add to it. Ask Him what He sees when he looks at you. Ask the Lord what are his dreams for your life and who does He see in you? Now begin to write those things down.
