"Good morning Lord," thank you for being with me all day, an help me in everything i need to do.
When we remember God in all that we do, he has promised to give us success. That means He will give us strenght, wisdom, and courage to successfully handle every minute of our day.
In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will direct you path ~ Proverbs 3:6

Ever have a nagging, yecky feeling after you've done something wrong? The secret sins you hide in your heart rot and turn soul. It's called guilt, they will rob you of happiness and joy.
Don't like those feelings? Then don't hide the wrong things you've done. Tell God all about them, He loves you and wants only the best for you. He already knows anyway but you need to tell him so you can have His peace again.
For if our heart (conscience) condemn us, God is greater then our heart, and knoweth all things. ~ 1John 3:20

Jesus lived his life doing only good things, yet think of how horribly he was treated. He was spit on, laughed at, and beaten. Finaly he was put to death as criminal. What will happen when you are rejected?
Jesus will give you the power to make it through the tough times and reward you with his joy.
Those (people) who are treated badly for doing good are happy. The kingdom of heaven belongs to them. ~ Matthew 5:10
Be a leader for good things instead of a follower of bad things.

Here's an old fable bout an anargument between the wind and the sun. ~ The wind blew hard gainst the man, but the man pulled his coat tightly around himself. Exasperated, the find wind up. The sun then heated itself, gently warming the day. Soon the man took off his coat.
This story is about gentleness. Often when we try to force someone to do something, they will struggle against doing it. If you use gentlenes, they will happly agree to do it.
"Gentleness"... is a fruit of the Spirit... ~Galatians 5:22-23

Do you lie? Then you are teaching others not to believe you. You are treating others as fools. Thinking they won't find you out, then you'll have to tell more lies to cover the first one.
You are destroying yourself from the inside out. It's impossble to be a liar and truly happy at the same time.
Do not lie to each other... Colossians 3:9
TM
God has a set of clothes you should wear night and day. Wear your armor to protect you in battle. YOU child of God are in battle against the devil.
Because - We wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of darkness of this world, against wickedness in high places. ~ Ephesians 6:12
Look for your armor in Ephesians 6:10-17
