Consult not your fears but your hopes and your dreams. Think not about your frustrations, but about your unfulfilled potential. Concern yourself not with what you tried and failed in, but with what it is still possible for you to do.

“Don’t limit yourself. Many people limit themselves to what they think they can do. You can go as far as your mind lets you. What you believe, remember, you can achieve.”

Success is not measured by what you accomplish, but by the opposition you have encountered, and the courage with which you have maintained the struggle against overwhelming odds.

If you don't design your own life plan, chances are you'll fall into someone else's plan. And guess what they have planned for you? Not much.

Dear God, Help me to walk in obedience to You today. Let Your Word guide how I think, how I speak, and how I act, especially in difficult circumstances. Remind me that obedience is better than sacrifice, and that following You brings life and peace. “Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path.” (Psalm 119:105) May Your truth shape my heart so that my actions, thoughts, and words reflect You. Help me to respond with grace and love toward others, even when it’s hard. Let everything I do point people to the hope and goodness found in Jesus. In Jesus’ name, amen. 🙏
