Instead of attacking a problem head on, take a moment to discover mutual feelings of gratitude.  The count to ten saying is more about taking time to talk to God before launching into an attack.  God is there to give us wisdom and peace, BEFORE the crisis escalates.

If you are a person who never seems to get things done, sometimes letting things go that need to be done, you can ask God for help to change.  And you can do that today, not tomorrow.  Right now, ask God for help.  Don't wait.

Anxiety is weight on our shoulders and our being.  God has the power to lift that weight and get your life back on track.  Don't carry that weight another day.  

A ton of words can describe anxiety, including embarrassment, shame, guilt.  Trade anxiety for a better place through prayer and a conversation with God.  Be honest and be open to what He has in mind.  

No one likes being identified as a person you can't count on.  It's a horrible place to be.  But getting out of that bad news brand is easier than you think.  Time to make some changes.

Basically, it's giving up.  You're done.  Not such a good place to be as life is designed for us to be a participant.  Are you stuck?

It easiest to blame someone else or some situation that causes you to stop doing something you need to do.  It's never someone else, the responsibility is all on you.  Time to quit the excuses.

Have you ever used the excuse, "the dog ate my homework"?  Yes you have.  Pray for courage to be the kind of person who is honest in all things.  Lean on God to help you get there.

Life is a process of maturing.  Trust Him to help you stretch the limits of who you are.

We are not perfect.  We never will be.  But God is the giver of hope and strength to help us move in the right direction.  Use his road map for your life and discover a better way to live life.
