Christian Self-MotivationMany of us struggle with self motivation at various times in our lives. It may come as a feeling of apathy or a lack of energy. It may take shape as a mind-boggling swirl of doubts, fears and questions.However the attack comes, God offers great hope and excellent guidance for regaining self motivation! As a Christian life coach, I love to use the promises and power of our Lord ...to inspire vision, ...to re-establish purpose ...and to ignite passion. Once this is accomplished, self motivation is no longer an abstract, unattainable, empty word. It becomes reality in your life, and you won't even have to think about it. While true coaching requires a supportive, helping relationship, this page is an excellent place for any under-motivated Christian to start! A New set of Motives
As Christians, our self motivation is very different from the rest of the world’s!
They are motivated by temporary things that always end up disappointing... We are motivated through our relationship with the I AM who was, is, and will always be. As the Apostle Paul reminds us: "...there must be a spiritual renewal of your thoughts and attitudes. You must display a new nature because you are a new person, created in God's likeness - righteous, holy, and true." (Eph 4:22-24 NLT) Wow. What a high calling... As you probably realize by now, our new thoughts and attitudes don't just appear the moment we give our lives to the Lord! No, the new nature comes through the lifelong process of daily sanctification. Don't be discouraged though! The journey of sanctification is what following Christ all about. He could have made us into perfect little robots the moment we chose to trust Him... ...but instead He lets us live it out so that we can enjoy all the blessings of seeking and finding Him. Getting an Internal Makeover!
Earlier in Ephesians chapter 4, the Apostle mentioned that the "ungodly" were "hopelessly confused" because they had "shut their minds and hardened their hearts" toward God.
Great! First step toward Godly motivation? Open our minds and soften our hearts toward God. How do we open our minds and soften our hearts? By washing our minds and soaking our hearts in the Truth! Okay, this is where I could launch into a 3000-word sermon on Truth; where to find it, and how to wash in it... rattling off lists of scripture and Biblical principles in a "shotgun" attempt to address everyone's unique situation... But I'll spare you! It would be much more effective for me to work with you individually energizing and charging you up with the Truth personalized to fit your life. For now, just know that God wants to be your strength. He's just waiting for you to seek Him for sanctification. He's ready to be the power behind your self motivation! ...And ask Him for those things! He loves to give good gifts to His children!
