We are now six months through the year. Many have long since broken any New Year’s resolutions and goals that they hoped to achieve. If that is not you, and you are still on track, congratulations! Your persistence to this point likely means you have developed habits that will carry you to the finish line.

But if you live among the masses, and your train’s been derailed, try not to give up on your dreams quite yet.

Maybe life has just walloped you upside the head and you’ve lost all orientation and direction. Perhaps the vision that you had at the beginning of the year has turned into a waking nightmare.

Take time to re-center your life. Engage with God in prayer and meditation. It is He who controls your destiny.

Seek out His guidance and direction for your life.

Spend time in God’s word, the Bible, and listen for His voice in what you read and comprehend. The more time that you spend with God and His word, the better you will understand and know God and His ways and receive comfort and peace through trying times.

Confide in friends that you can trust, who will stick with you to the end; who will pray for and with you, and who will always have your back in time of need.

Know that not all of our trials and struggles in life will resolve before we die.

But even though our pain and grief may follow us to the grave, this life is temporary.

Beyond the grave is joy, peace, and love; a life of never ending satisfaction in the presence of a most glorious, holy, and righteous God.

Secure you future by entering into an eternal relationship with almighty God, a relationship possible by the death and resurrection of Jesus, God’s son.

Jesus died to take the punishment that we deserve because of our sin. But death did not defeat Him.

After three days, Jesus rose from the dead, defeating death, sin, Satan, and all evil that rose up in rebellion to God and His ways.
