No Resolutions Here




It is so easy to fall into the trap of setting New Year resolutions.

Why do I call them a trap?

Because when we inevitably fail to keep them, the guilt sets in.

Our self-talk becomes lethal, denigrating our will power and perseverance.

Instead of New Year’s resolutions how about this:

“Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.”

Are there changes needed in your life?

There sure are in mine.

So why not lift those requests to God.

Let God become your ally in strengthening you and changing you.

It is His desire that we all be changed to conform to the image of His Son.

I am so grateful that it goes beyond a resolution to a heavenly alliance through prayer.

After all, with God all things are possible!
