...but, I don't want to.
I said a prayer once that went something like this...
"Oh God, help me. I just don't know how to lose these 10 pounds."
To which He replied, "Yes, you do."
He was right. I've lived in this body long enough and lost enough pounds in the past to know what I need to do to lose weight.
It wasn't a question of whether I knew what to do. It was a matter of whether I wanted to apply what I already knew.
So, my prayer changed...
"God help me apply what I know then."
And, that's how it is with many things in my life. I know the answer. I know what I need to do.
The question is... am I willing to apply it?
