Success and Failure

I was just thinking about success and failure in life. So many young people are buying into the lie that there's no hope and are taking their lives.

I am hear to tell you that you matter and your life is not an accident. God knew you before you were even born and had dreams and plans for your life. (Ps.139)

We cannot fail in life unless we give up. God showed me many years ago that He always has a back up plan for when we mess up. All we have to do is cry out for help and follow His guidance as best we know how and He will get us through.

Not every thought that drops into your head is one that you should allow. There is a deceiver on the loose and he's mad at God and since he can't get back at God directly he attacks God's kids--us. When those negative, hopeless, worthless thoughts come into your head and you just can't get rid of them, remember all the good things that have happened in your life and speak about them out loud. Then call a friend and ask them for help.

If you are isolated and alone cry out to God for help and don't push people away when they try to get close to you next time. I know it's a natural thing to do when you are depressed, but we have to do things differently if we want to change. It's time to learn new, healthy habits to live by.

There is hope. God can help you change. What He has done for me He will do for you.
