OVERCOMING TEMPTATION OVERCOMING TEMPTATION There is no easy way to overcome temptation. It takes time, effort, and perseverance. However, there are a few things that you can do to help you resist temptation and stay on track. First, remember that temptation is a sign that you are not fully committed to your goals. If you are struggling with temptation, it means that you are not fully focused on your goal. Resist the temptation to give in to the temptation and focus on your goal. Second, be aware of your surroundings. When you are faced with temptation, be aware of where you are and who is around you. This will help you stay safe and avoid potential temptation . WHEN JESUS told Peter he would soon deny his Lord, Peter boasted, Others may, but not me! Yet within a few hours he was swearing and disavowing any knowledge of Jesus. It can happen to any of us.

IT IS WELL WITH MY SOUL

It has been a long time since I have felt this way and it's good to be back in the saddle again, especially when you are doing something that you love. The past few months were pretty hectic for me as there was so much going on at work but now things seem more settled down which means I can focus more of myself into what matters most - family!

THE BIBLE

DEALING WITH ANGER

HOW TO DEAL WITH ANGER HOW TO DEAL WITH ANGER Anger is without a doubt one of man's greatest problems, for it affects and influences practically all of his verbal expressions, actions, and deeds, and every reaction in his relationship to the world around him. But the picture is not a hopeless one. There is a way of escape from this dilemma. God has shown us how to rid ourselves of anger. ACKNOWLEDGE THE CONDITION God is faithful to show us our condition. Very often He uses dreams, for when we sleep our conscious lid is taken off and the feelings of our subconscious mind rise to the surface of the conscious. Angry feelings personify themselves in our dreams, so it is easy (if we are honest) to identify their real meaning. True, we dream because of physical reasons, such as eating too much before going to bed, so we cannot say that all dreams are from God. Nevertheless, God does use dreams to speak to us and show us what lies hidden in the depths of our frozen anger. Some...

Guidance can come from a lot of different places . It can come from your own thoughts and feelings, from other people, or from a divine source.
