What does God want us to do with our lives as believers?

What a question, I am sure we could all come up with all kinds of responses to it.
If we were to look at: Romans 12:1-2
Therefore I urge you brothers that in view of God's mercy that you offer your bodies as living sacrifices holy and pleasing to God-This is your spiritual act of worship. Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God's will is, His good and perfect will.
Let's Look at The Message translation of the same two scriptures..Romans 12:1-2
So here's what I want you to do, God helping you: Take your everyday ordinary life-Your sleeping, eating, going to work and walking-around your ordinary life---and place it before God as a offering...Don't become so well-adjusted to your culture that you fit into it without even thinking. Instead fix your thinking on God and you'll be changed form the inside out.

I believe we all want to better ourselves and develope a better-deeper relationship with God. Sometimes the task at hand seems so out of reach. If we could break it down into simple steps, Take it day by day. Not allowing ourselves excuses anymore as to why we can't.

Philippians 3:13b-14
But this one thing I do, forgetting those things that are behind, reaching forth unto those things that are before. 14. I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.

We're created to abide in him and him in us, we're created for relationship with our creator, we're created to reach the lost. Don't allow your past to determine your future. Today is a new day & a great day to start a new habit. Start your day in prayer, God what will you have me do today. What of you forgot and it's already lunch time, don't get discouraged because you had forgot, rejoice that you remembered and now pray, God what would you have me do today. Start a habit, Ask God what he wants you to do with your life as his child, ask him daily. I promise he will lead you exactly where your supposed to be.
Jeremiah 29:11 For I know the plans I have for you declares the Lord, not to harm you , plans to give you a hope and a future.
