RESULTS REQUIRE ACTION:
I am not a lazy person, but neither am I a high-energy, bounce-out-of-bed-each-day- with-exuberant-zeal type. However, I am very determined, and that overrides any lack of feeling I might have. Recently it occurred to me that I might pray for those feelings. After all, the Bible says we have not because we ask not (James 4:2).
After I prayed, as so often is the case, God led me to do some specific things like eating more protein and taking some additional nutrition that was not part of my regimen. As I have mentioned, God answers prayer, and one of the ways He does is showing us what we need to do.
You won’t get a good result if you pray for energy, when you refuse to get enough sleep, eat junk food, and nutritionally depleted, get no exercise, or have a negative mindset. With God, all things are possible, but they are not automatic. We must cooperate with Him and take obedient action.
A Healthy You:
Physical health is very important, but emotional health, mental health, and spiritual health are also very important.
Tip:
Determine to be disciplined this week. Set a goal and stick to it until you finish.
Hebrews 12:11 Now no chastening for the present seemth to be joyous, but grievous: nevertheless afterward it yieldeth the peaceable fruit of righteousness unto them which are exercised thereby.
