    Yesterday was bad. To fight back I prayed the following prayers back to back repeatedly:

    “Lord, help me to love.”

    “Father, help me to be tough.”

    “Father, help me to turn from sin.”

    “Father, show me Your will.”

    Every time I started to think about bad stuff, I started to pray these prayers again. When we fight back, problems that would normally sink us start to be manageable. Why? Partly because now we are focused on other things, and partly because prayer activates God’s help in our lives.

    The Bible says to think about good things. This year is the first year for me to be doing that.

    Don’t let the bad eat up the good. Planning and prayer lead to stopping.
