Every major accomplishment in a man’s life requires a high level of commitment. I’m sure you can remember such an accomplishment in your life. Perhaps you were starting your own business. Or you were considering a job change or mapping out a new direction for your company or family. Whatever it was, you probably felt some initial hesitancy. One day you were eager to start…and the next you weren’t so sure. But once you made the decision to dive in and proceed, all the long hours of effort were worth it because of the joy of seeing the fruit of your labors.
What major decision or change are you facing right now? Have you included God in the planning process? Take time to pray. Share all your thoughts and concerns with Him. Ask for His leading as you move forward.
God, I commit my plans to You today.
Help me to honor You in all I do.
Thank You for guiding me so that my decisions
may glorify You and bless the people around me.
Amen.

The truth is, my thoughts pulled me down so far that, in private, tears regularly streamed down my face. Are you constantly thinking negative thoughts?
