Press On. Failure; If you stay focused on your failure, it begins to define you. Don't let it hold you hostage. Don't relive the loss, focus on the future. Don't play the blame game (guilt, self or others). Evaluate and calibrate. Proper perspective; Go to God. Live for today. The windshield is bigger than the review mirror for a reason. Get back in the game. Look at what can be, instead of what could have been. Take charge. Rejoice in the midst. Prayer; As Rev. Dr. Keith Parham said in a sermon earlier this week, "Prayer is communicating with God. Complaining is holding conversation with the devil." What priority do we put on prayer? Prayer is powerful. Prayer is intimate. Prayer is essential. Recall God's Promises; Recalling God's promises helps us to flow from worry to glory. It grows our faith. It creates an atmosphere for the miraculous. It strengthens our witness. It points others to Christ. Press On; Lean into the voice of God. Serve with fervor and zeal. Be focused on the task that God has given. Let the Joy of the Lord fill you. Remember the Lord still makes house calls. When He knocks at the door of your heart, open up and let Him in. There's a fresh start waiting for you today. Run this race with all you have and give all you've got. Honor God with the life He's given you. Phil 3:12-14, Eph 3:20.
