21-MARCH-2025 - HOW DO I DEVELOP A GROWTH MINDSET
THE MAIN THEME: ACHIEVING PERSONAL GROWTH
TITLE: HOW DO I DEVELOP A GROWTH MINDSET?
The bible verse for today’s devotional is: Romans 12:2 (NIV)
“Do not conform 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, pleasing, and perfect will.”
Devotional
A growth mindset believes that abilities, intelligence, and character can improve through effort and learning. Unlike a fixed mindset, which avoids challenges, a growth mindset sees them as opportunities.
Paul’s transformation (Acts 9) is a powerful example. Once rigid and closed-minded, he encountered Jesus and embraced growth. He became teachable, resilient, and purpose-driven—proving that anyone can change when they allow God to renew their mind.
G.R.O.W.T.H. Mindset
G – Give yourself permission to learn (Growth takes time)
R – Replace fear with faith (Challenges help you grow)
O – Overcome failure by learning (Failure is a lesson, not the end)
W – Work on consistency (Small steps lead to big change)
T – Take constructive feedback (See correction as growth, not criticism)
H – Have patience with yourself (Growth is a journey)
Here are a few reflective questions:
- In what areas of my life do I need to shift from a fixed to a growth mindset?
- How can I allow God to renew my thinking?
- What lessons can I learn from Paul’s transformation?
Let Us Pray:
Lord, help me to develop a growth mindset that reflects faith, perseverance, and a willingness to learn. Remove any fear or doubt that holds me back. Just as You transformed Paul’s thinking, renew my mind so that I may grow in wisdom, strength, and purpose. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
Please say these words of affirmation after me. Say them, mean them, own them and live them:
- I embrace challenges as opportunities for growth!
- My mind is renewed daily by God’s Word!
- I learn from failure and move forward with faith!
- I am growing, evolving, and stepping into my purpose!
Do have a fulfilling day. Take good care of yourself, and see you tomorrow!
