Starting Fresh

You ever wonder why people make New Year Resolutions? It's in the hope of having a new year and a new start. Forgetting the old and leaving it behind. Starting a new journey or voyage if you will.

Some people start new jobs, new weight loss programs and some start new fads, with hopes to better themselves. Some people stick to the "New Years Resolutions" and some waver until eventually they give up.

Amidst all the craziness of planning and prep for the future, you can loose yourself. You can forget who you are and why you do what you do. But if you truly are sincere in what you do and why you do it there is hope.

For those of you struggling with:
do I keep this job , do I continue to allow myself to be put in this position, do I even try to do what is right anymore, should I even go to Church anymore, how could this happen to me, why do I always do this to myself...

Think about this. The Bible says that Jesus is acquainted with our sufferings. <>
He knows what we are going through and He will make a way.
Don't ever think you are alone! God is always right there with you never leaving you.

So when you are thinking about your new years resolutions and what you can do to better yourself/lief. Remember the one who gave up His so you could have the choice to make this decision.

God I pray that as we seek wisdom in what the future holds and what You have for us that we will be quick to listen and slow to speak! Guide our every step, show us the way to fulfilling the call that You have given us. Let us not back down from what You have called us to and from where You have called us to go. Help us to stand firm and strong in times of adversity and trials. Let us not be marked by the world but let the world be marked by us! The life we live and the people we reach let it all be for You! All glory and honor to You Lord.
