Isaiah 41:10 - NLT
Don’t be afraid, for I am with you.
Don’t be discouraged, for I am your God.
I will strengthen you and help you.
I will hold you up with my victorious right hand.
Ben was afraid to even try a diet. He never had much luck with things that required a lot of willpower on his part. He caved in much too easily. If only someone else would make his decisions for him. He had never been overweight when he lived at home and had his mother around to tell him what to eat and what not to eat. Ben would be the first one to admit that he had no self-control. Unfortunately, we all have to learn to discipline ourselves. God doesn't tell us what to do. He gives us complete freedom, but He will help us have the strength to make right decisions if we ask Him to. Include God, and He will make some wonderful things happen.

TODAY'S TIP:
Take a small sponge and cut it in half. Place it in a container that you can seal tightly. Add one part fabric softener to three parts water. Just throw the wet sponge into the dryer when you get ready to dry your clothes. It takes the place of those costly fabric sheets and works just as well.
