Instead of attacking a problem head on, take a moment to discover mutual feelings of gratitude. The count to ten saying is more about taking time to talk to God before launching into an attack. God is there to give us wisdom and peace, BEFORE the crisis escalates.
If you are a person who never seems to get things done, sometimes letting things go that need to be done, you can ask God for help to change. And you can do that today, not tomorrow. Right now, ask God for help. Don't wait.
Anxiety is weight on our shoulders and our being. God has the power to lift that weight and get your life back on track. Don't carry that weight another day.
A ton of words can describe anxiety, including embarrassment, shame, guilt. Trade anxiety for a better place through prayer and a conversation with God. Be honest and be open to what He has in mind.
No one likes being identified as a person you can't count on. It's a horrible place to be. But getting out of that bad news brand is easier than you think. Time to make some changes.
Basically, it's giving up. You're done. Not such a good place to be as life is designed for us to be a participant. Are you stuck?
It easiest to blame someone else or some situation that causes you to stop doing something you need to do. It's never someone else, the responsibility is all on you. Time to quit the excuses.
Have you ever used the excuse, "the dog ate my homework"? Yes you have. Pray for courage to be the kind of person who is honest in all things. Lean on God to help you get there.
Life is a process of maturing. Trust Him to help you stretch the limits of who you are.
We are not perfect. We never will be. But God is the giver of hope and strength to help us move in the right direction. Use his road map for your life and discover a better way to live life.
A broken promise hurts others, but it also cuts deep in our own lives. Here's a simple fix, first, ask God for forgiveness. Then, allow himm to inspire you to take action with every promise. Make that promise, and take action immediately. Not always easy, but it can be done with God's help.
When life hits you hard with the facts of life, you might call it a wake up call. God constantly reaches out to make sure we stay on track. That means what needs to happen today, should happen today. Tomrrow is another chapter.
You've heard it before. I'll do it tomorrow. Do you think you're the only one who is stuck? The first step is to connect with God who has a plan for each of us. Use his design for you to help you see what can be.
Guess what, you're not the only one who gets stuck. Step one: take responsibility, then connect with God who will help you be successful. Try taking that step, today.
Like the song, "Man in the Mirror", change only happens when we change who we are, what we think, and how we respond to life. You're not stuck, you just haven't taken a good look at YOU. God is right there to help make that change happen.
We all make bad choices, all of us. If you cry out to God, humble yourself before Him, change happens. You're not stuck. You just haven't discovered the connection. It's a free call.
Okay, I'll do what I can do with my faith journey. So the question is, what do I get in return. God is working within you, 24/7 in the good times and the bad times. That's the promise. Keep it close and discover a life worth living.
Good values are like good relationships. To keep us on track, we must work on those values every day. As the sun rises, make time to connect with God and set the attitude for the day. It really does work. Try it, today.
Attitudes are a huge barrier to following Jesus. We get stuck because bad things happen. They do, to everyone. That's part of life and one way that Jesus helps us better understand what can be. Time to get unstuck.
We live with barriers in our lives. Those barriers can block us from successfully changing the way we think. We are not stuck. God is the key element in moving away from the dark and bad thoughts, and allowing Him to show us what is possible. Give it a try.
Not so easy, or is it? Change is the first step. Admittting that God has your best interests at heart is a big step and allowing him to be first in every thing you do, every breath you take. Take a deep breath and start that change, today.
Yes, but only if you're listening. Life creates a static that can get in the way of communication with God. A strong pathway or signal is essential in making change happen. Don't try it on your own. Simply, touch base with God.
Some folks call it "systems". Others call it focus. Either way, unless we are 100% locked in on the vision, we will fall short. God does and always will keep us on track.
Allow God to expand your faith by trusting that all things are possible. Refuse to comprimise, and believe that he also has faith in you.
Keep that connection open. Remember, God's time is your time, without limitation. No boundaries and a forever oportunity to communicate with him. Like today. Have you had the chance to give him a call?
We are all capable of a closer connection with God. We can also break that connection through neglect. Your God time is very important and must be part of your every day. Keep the connection strong. God gives us unlimited time with Him.
It's coming up on the holidays and family gatherings. Usually, we expect conflict because that's the way it has always been. Instead, focus on Jesus and discover how He sees your family. Yes, He sees all the good, and you should too.
God will help you discard conflct from the past. You might also know this as baggage. Leave the baggage behind and expect an opportunity to create a new beginning in your family relationship.
Beyond all of the things that irritate you about another family member, there are many things that you also love. Find your way through the forest of conflict and discover a brighter side of that person. It's there. You just have to find it.
Joy, at the top, comes from a loving relationship with God. He can teach us how to use His joy to uplift others. At the core of who you are, lives joy. Find a way to let others see that in you.
