Moving Forward with Focus and Purpose
Welcome to the final day of the Focus Fast! This guide is here to help you reflect on your journey, understand God’s promises, and apply what you’ve learned to your daily life. Now is the time to solidify your commitment to focusing on God and carrying these lessons forward.

The Bible is full of promises for those who focus on God. Here are some scriptures to think about:
- Isaiah 26:3: God promises perfect peace to those who trust in Him.
- Matthew 6:33: When we seek God first, He will meet our needs.
- Isaiah 40:31: God gives strength to those who hope in Him.

- Colossians 3:1-2: Focusing on heavenly things brings eternal reward.
- Romans 12:2: A renewed mind transforms your life and aligns you with God’s will.
2. Building for This Season
God wants you to build something special in this season of your life. It begins with:
- Your Relationship with Him: Make God the foundation of your life.
- Your Inner Self: Allow God to shape your character and strengthen your spirit.
- Your Future Harvest: Trust that this is a season of growth and double blessings.
3. Guarding Against Distractions
Stay focused on God and avoid distractions like:
- Materialism: Don’t let things become more important than your faith.
- Idolatry: Keep God at the center of your heart.
- Worldly Desires: Pursue what is good for your spirit, not just what feels good temporarily.
