Good Night 08/14/09

Dear Father, thank you so much for living inside me through your Holy Spirit. Thank you for the assurance of your love, your presence, your power, and your guidance as I try to make the decisions and face the challenges of my daily life. Dear Father, as I yield my heart and my will to your Spirit's transforming grace and power, please help me develop more of your character and more completely display your grace today, and every day, as I face the tasks before me. In Jesus' name I pray. Amen.

Scoring:
9-10

7-8
You are doing well. Keep doing what you are doing and gradually make the changes so you can move your score up.
6-5
You have some things going for you, but need to work on getting more “yes” answers. At this rate, you likely not see any improvement in your health, body composition or your ability to excecute.
3-4
You are currently enduring through your life far below your physical and spiritual potential. You will see some great improvements in your health, body composition and aesthetic performance once you start getting more “yes” answers.
0-2
Your lack of discipline is severely hindering your health, body composition and performance. You need to decide if you are really ready to commit to doing what it takes to serve God.

If you have something you need to pray about, let me know. I'll be more than happy to pray with you. It amazes me, how fast God is moving for those who show faith within their prayers. Congrats On The House G-ma!! GIG!
