What do you do when you make a mistake?

Do you beat yourself up verbally? Or, do you say, “That’s okay, I’ll get em’ next time”?

What do you do when you make a mistake?

Friends, we’ve believed a lie that’s created a false image of ourselves for far too long–now it’s time to change that false image to the truth.

When you look in the mirror, who do you see?

When someone gives you a complement, what do you say?

When you read God’s Word and you see, “You’re fearfully and wonderfully made,” how does it make you feel?

Self-image is defined as

Do you know what you’re worth? Are you secure in who you are?

Have you ever found yourself doing something that you hoped would make you feel like you matter, but found it just left you empty?

Unanswered prayer one is tough for most people.

There’s a lot of factors involved. And some things we just won’t know this side of heaven.

Have you ever been trucking along in your goal, super motivated and then it feels like you hit a brick wall?

Here’s three keys that will get you through this messy middle and on to the other side headed to success:

How do you actually accomplish them with out “pooping out” mid-way?

You get it all done by not getting it all done.

Do you ever feel like you’ve been in the grind a bit too long that you've lost your joy most days?

The Bible actually has something to say about that.

Thanking God for who He is and what He’s done for you is actually prayer.

You could journal this to Him, speak it out loud to Him or even sing to Him. Any way you express it, thankfulness is a key component to developing a great relationship with God.

What is prayer?

Prayer is talking to God. It’s how we communicate with our Heavenly Father. It’s how we connect with the Holy Spirit and access His power in our lives. It’s another way we spend time with Jesus.

Most of us know we need to do spend time in the Word of God, but for the many of us, it’s either a drudgery, it’s boring or it’s a bit confusing.

Spending time with Jesus in His Word should be something that brings you joy not sucks it out of you.
