You Can Do It
Yes you can!

Many of us begin the new year with the hope of changing something in our lives. I want my life to improve in 2010. My personal goal is to slim down and eat less. We all have something, smoking, drinking, gossiping, overeating, wasting too much time on video games and Internet surfing, and countless other things. Let he who is without sin toss the first rock.
The important thing to know is you can overcome. You are more powerful than you realize. What ever you want to do, do it today. Just today. Don’t even think about or worry about tomorrow. Time is a finite resource. How will we use it best today?
Holy God, our rock and our strength. Help us to overcome the weakness of the flesh. Give us courage to act, and fill our spirits with your breath and resolve. You have said that through Christ all things are possible. You have given us authority to do many things. You have said that both life and death are in the power of the tongue. Let us choose life. Let us find our stride and our courage. Today we call on you and you hear our prayer and answer us. Amen

hi erin,
this is truth here!!!
we need to take action holding on to Gods Word that He will not Leave or forsake us.
Peter walked on water by putting a foot forward, although fear came and he began to drown afterwards, Jesus was there to save him and we should always cling on to that promise

Hi Erin – I love your focus on “just today.” Very wise indeed. Sometimes I overwhelm myself by looking too far ahead, and just today feels much more doable.

We have the power … the real fuel is the love of our self and the desire to experience the best of our self that we can.

Erin,
This is very powerful…one day at a time is the key and I may even have to go to one moment at a time if need be!

Thank you for that prayer. I feel a little down today and it was a welcome reminder that the power lies within me. All the best,
Maryse
