“We have to fight to keep our faith. Try as hard as you can to win that fight. Take hold of eternal life. It is the life you were chosen to have when you confessed your faith in Jesus—that wonderful truth that you spoke so openly and that so many people heard.” -1 Timothy 6:12 [ERV]

A Time to Think…
“Faith isn’t the ability to believe long and far into the misty future. It’s simply taking God at His Word and taking the next step.” -Joni Erickson Tada, author

A Time to Act…
When you arise, embrace this perspective: I will approach today with a grateful heart. When you start with this gratitude, your day will have strength, joy, love and God’s grace flowing through you. In fact, make it a practice every day!

A Time to Pray…
O Lord, thank You for giving me a fresh start each day to begin anew. Like Timothy of the Bible, help me to run the race and keep the faith; to stay in the fight, and to have the confidence that you, O Lord, will be running that race right beside me. AMEN.
