Living Perfectly Positioned: The Purpose of Prayer

Day 93 Principle: Hope’s shelf life is only for today. Tomorrow is promised to no one. I am not waiting for God to answer my prayers. The purpose of prayer is not to get answers, but to get to know God! I am not waiting for God to heal my body. Every external miracle will eventually leave [...]

Day 89 Principle: Without a dramatic change of heart, you cannot claim to be “Born again.” I know I am a fully surrendered Christian when my desires have changed into God’s desires.

Living Perfectly Positioned: Response is Everything

Day 88 Principle: How I respond to events in my life is infinitely more important than what has happened to me.

Day 87 Principle: The doorway to your destiny is through your weaknesses.
