A God-focused life

Living a God-focused life means making God the central priority in your decisions, actions, and thoughts, rather than letting worldly goals, distractions, or the pursuit of success dictate your path.

In a world full of pressures—like striving for career success, wealth, or personal achievements—it’s easy to get caught up in what everyone else says you should do. A God-focused life shifts that perspective.

Instead of asking, “How can I advance my career or make more money?” the question becomes, “How can I honour God and follow His guidance in this situation?”

It doesn’t mean ignoring your goals or responsibilities. Rather, it means

• Prioritising God’s values over worldly success.
• Seeking His guidance in decisions, big and small.
• Living with integrity, compassion, and love, even when it might not be the fastest route to material success.
• Trusting that fulfilment and purpose come from following God’s plan, not just achieving personal ambitions.

In essence, a God-focused life is about aligning your heart, mind, and actions with God’s will, allowing Him to shape your priorities and your purpose, rather than being led by fleeting trends or societal pressures.
