Do you regularly sit and intentionally listen for His still small voice, or are you more prone to "arrow prayers", a handful of sentences rocketed upward in moments of crisis? Consider strategies for successful prayer and their relationship to your food and fitness choices.

He’s assured us all things work together for good for those who love Him and are called according to His purpose. That includes us! Today we ponder how difficulties are part of our sanctification process, and our ability to overcome them depends upon whom we allow to REIGN in those moments!
