The best support you can receive is the support from yourself. If you would only focus on why your doing what your doing, you'll keep moving forward. You won't quit. Times will get rough, but hang in there. I've never seen a storm that stayed.

No one is exempt from trouble or hardship. Everyone gets their share of misfortunes and inconveniences that make life a little harder to deal with. Whether we like it or not, we have to constantly find ways to live above our circumstances, if we have any intentions of maintaining a well-balanced and healthy life. Even if we live our lives as the Bible declares, we will still find ourselves dead smack in the middle of a mess every now and then. They key to surviving is walking in obedience, trusting God to see us through and hanging in there no matter what.

What is your conclusion? Have you really decided to begin your life again? Will you be happy, walk in peace, be joyful, love and be loved. If yes, are you sure. Are you really sure? The minute you choose your destiny to live a prosperous life, the enemy will come (if he haven’t come already) to tempt you, discourage and oppress you. The minute you decide to let go some things, receive some things, get out some things, throw away some things or walk away from some things, the test will come. How you respond will judge your true determination. Now is the time to set yourself before you get started.

If you’re not determined to fight your way through, you might as well give up now. It will never happen. You will either stop, become neutral, or slow way down to the point of quitting. It gets hard in the came. You never know what will happen.

Everyday my son goes to football practice. The team prepare themselves for what “could” happen. The real game is nothing like practice. And so, tomorrow is nothing like today. Today you could only prepare for tomorrow. Tomorrow is the real game. Will you give it to your component? I should hope not. You may lose something or someone, but be determined to not give up or give in.

In case you haven’t noticed, your life hasn’t gone the way you planned. You said you were going to get some things but never got them. You said you were going to go some places but you never got there. You said you were going to do some things but never done them. Do you see what I’m saying? It never happened because something happened. Something took place that wasn’t in the plan. Perhaps a problem arose and threw all your hope out the door. Or maybe you lost your zeal to pursue it and so you stopped. Or maybe you lacked discipline to do what you needed to do in order to get your desired end. For example, I wanted to lose weight. I wanted to go from a size fourteen back down to a size ten. I wrote a two-week plan to exercise, drink water, and eat the right foods. However, when it was time to run, I came up with an excuse. When it was time for me to drink water, I drunk a Pepsi instead. And when it was time for me to eat the right foods, like a salad, I found myself at McDonalds and Burger King. I wanted to be a size ten again, but I wasn’t determined to hang in there. I lacked discipline.

Ask yourself what’s best for you? What do you need? What do you want? Why do you want to begin again in the first place? Your answer should be enough reason to hang in there. It may seem like there’s no change, but if you just hang in there and do right, it will all work out for your good. So, set yourself. Support yourself. Control yourself. Love yourself to get the finest in life. If you fight the good fight of faith, you’ll overcome it all. That’s a promise.
