God dreams big, and he invites us to dream big with him—the desires in our hearts unique to each of us have been planted by him. Dreaming with God allows us to access these places in our hearts where desire dwells and to hear his voice. It awakens hope and possibility and allows us to see ourselves as he sees us. After all, nothing is too big for God, including our deepest desires.

(00:15:53)  Take some time and allow your thoughts to dream with God. Sit with God and ask him to reveal and awaken your heart's desires. Here are some questions you can ask him to help you explore. It’s ok if it’s difficult to name the desire, but ask God to access to places where these desires are planted:

• What do you feel makes you particularly you?
• What do you like?
• What do you daydream about?
• If you could do anything, knowing it would go swimmingly well, what would it be?
• What do you want to be true of yourself?
• What do you want the impact of your life to be?
• Ask God, "what do you want for me?"
