Success is something all of us strive for in our lives. The definition of success varies for us all, but reaching it is a grind and can wear on us physically, mentally, and emotionally.
How we respond to those effects makes all the difference. The first thing we must do as we seek success, as we gain success, and yes when we have setbacks, is to pray. Prayer is not for the benefit of God to hear us, I believe that He always does. It is for us to be heard in a different way. Prayer is an acknowledgment of our humanity and insufficiency. God is pleased when we seek to communicate with Him.
Next we need to take a break from the ruts that we find ourselves in as we grind. Today I am writing from Little Rock and plan to be in Memphis later today as we take a break from our routines. This morning we will be worshipping with our Christian brothers and sisters at the Pleasant Valley Church of Christ and gaining encouragement from their services.
Finally refocus. Once we have committed to prayer and taken a diversion from the norm it is time to assess our new state, and make some definitive plans for moving forward.
Where are you in this cycle today?
Give this cycle a chance and MAKE TODAY GREAT!
