148: Letting Go of Life’s Expectations
Too often, our expectations in life turn into disappointments. What if, instead of setting ourselves up to be discouraged, we shifted our focus and lived in expectancy of seeing God everywhere?
In this episode, our guest, speaker, author, and coach, Dana Lyons, shares her experiences as she learned to listen and look for God in all things and how letting go of her earthly expectations changed everything.
Listen and learn how you can let go and lean into God and all He has to offer you.
Main Points from the Show
One of the hardest things Christians have to overcome is their own expectations which often lead to discouragement when they aren’t met. Unmet expectations of ourselves can be the worst.
It is best when we take our focus off of the thing we have built an expectation around and focus on God instead.
Look at everything in life from a place of expectancy of seeing God instead of the expectation we build from a worldly perspective.
Shifting our expectations is a large part of Living Our More!
