Point to Ponder
There are two ways to be deceived. One is to believe what isn’t true; The other is to refuse to accept what is true. – Soren Kierkegaard
Prayer
Gracious God, help us in those areas that we are stubborn to change. Give us the spiritual stamina to get through the fatigue of self-doubt and help us overcome obstacles erected by other people who don’t want us to change because it means their life will change. In Jesus’ name, AMEN.
