Today I am bringing you the ultimate tip! 

This tip has the power not only to change your relationships, but everything in your life that needs changing. 

Here it is: God is the solution for every difficulty and problem we face in life. He is the source of our strength. 

He wants us to trust Him completely. He wants us to turn to Him for the solutions to our problems and difficulties in life. 

He is our healer and comforter and desires to heal us of our old emotional wounds and memories. 

He wants us to be completely dependent upon Him. There is no substitute for trust in God.

Where do you turn for help? Are you depending on someone or something besides the Lord?

When my son first told me that he wanted to start training at a boxing club with a friend of his from school, I wasn’t sure what to think. Although I was used to him risking injury playing football for several years, boxing seemed a little extreme. Now after watching him train (in the old-fashioned Olympic style), I am seeing all of the benefits he is reaping from his hard work: discipline, determination and endurance, to name just a few.

 

The Apostle Paul’s message likened the strengthening of a believer’s faith to the conditioning necessary for a successful fight. We need preparation, discipline and determination if we’re going to fight the good fight of faith. 

 

Every day brings the opportunity and challenge for strengthening our faith muscles and then, stepping into the ring and fighting a good fight.

 

Do you have a conditioning program? A coach can help!

When it comes to relationships, the best tip that I can give you is to make Jesus your best friend! This is the key to life!

 

We all want and need loving, friendly and warm relationships. But if you’re putting your relationship with your spouse, child, family member, friend or any significant other before your relationship with Him, then you are missing out. 

 

If you are concerned or troubled about your relationship with someone important to you, stop and think first about your relationship with Jesus. How does your relationship with Him compare with the relationship that concerns you? Although your relationship with Jesus is paramount, comparing it with the one you’re concerned about will likely help your understanding of whether He wants you to heal or strengthen that relationship, or perhaps allow Him to orchestrate removing it, especially if it has become an idol in your life.

 

“Oh, what peace we often forfeit, Oh, what needless pain we bear” when we don’t take our troubles to the Lord in prayer. He wants to know everything that is bothering us. Everything!

 

Is being God’s friend your greatest desire?

Need some help with difficulties in a relationship?

Have you tried talking to the Lord about the problem?

If so, did you explain your own feelings about any problems and this person?

If you’re not already aware, God cares.

He knows who should and shouldn’t be in your life and doesn’t want you to continue in a hurtful relationship.

He’s also continually on the alert for your prayers, not just when you are in crisis.

He wants to be the most important relationship in your life.

He wants to bless you and guide you in your relationships every step of the way.

In your prayers, remember to include a request for His guidance for the person you care about.

Have you been hurt in a relationship with someone close to you?

God says: “I will never leave you nor forsake you.” (Hebrews 13:5). 

God is always there for us, even when we are walking in the valley of despair.

He will never turn away from us.

Have you experienced the assurance of knowing that there is One who will never leave you or let you down?

Do you know that you have a new identity in Christ?

When you believe in and accept the sacrifice that Christ made for you on the cross and ask Him to be the Lord of your life, you take on a new identity!

The key to the transformation you are looking for is found in your new identity.

You become a daughter of the King! You belong to Christ and you are His prized possession! 

The old self is gone, your new self is here!

“Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus”. (Romans 8:1)

You are a new creation!

Have you received your new identity?

Good conflict resolution is integral to healthy relationships.

This picture reminds me of the importance of staying on an even keel when disagreements arise; staying steady, balanced, and on course.

When we feel hurt or upset by the words or actions of someone we care about, controlling our emotions is one of the ways we can maintain balance to have a clear perspective of the situation at hand.

We may feel out of control at the moment, but we can choose to stay calm and control our response. Then we will have our best shot at solving the problem at hand in a peaceful, harmonious manner.

We can even choose JOY in our trials! Joy comes from recognizing that that our trials can lead us towards faithfulness, loyalty, and, as Merriam-Webster notes, provide a “steady and unwavering course in love, allegiance and conviction.” 

I find it especially satisfying when I’m able to help people toward the resolution of difficult conflicts.

Do you ever feel like your prayers aren’t reaching their destination? Like the Lord is a million miles away and couldn’t possibly be tuning in to your prayers and the cries of your heart?

 

I want to encourage you today – God is listening! He is nearer to you than you realize! Nearer to you than your own soul and your most secret thoughts! It is difficult for us to comprehend this fully, but we need to take this truth in and operate from this place of assurance that He hears you!

 

He is talking to you. Can you hear Him?

In order to deepen our faith, we need to exercise it!

 

It is only by faith that we can acknowledge and accept that our Father has allowed everything that is happening in our world, including all of the circumstances in our lives and all that has ever happened to us. He allows all of it for His good purposes, as well as for our own.

 

Our acknowledgement of this truth, even though we frequently can’t understand His purpose, exercises, deepens and strengthens our faith. 

 

Without faith, it is impossible to have a relationship with God. Without faith, it is impossible to please Him.

 

God’s Word says that we will be rewarded for our faith! A major part of the reward is true contentment, even in the unstable world in which we live.

 

Faith enables us to be in a trusting relationship with God despite our troubles and the power of faith can even move mountains (Mark 11:23).

 

I love this quote by W. Graham Scroggie, “Sight is worldly wisdom, but faith is heavenly wisdom”.

 

We need to live by faith, not by sight!

 

How is your faith these days? Do you have faith in God despite all the craziness in the world?

God is seeking our transformation!

God wants us to view ourselves the way He views us – as “chosen and precious” (1 Peter 2:4)!

Our belief in Christ and acceptance of His love for us in His sacrifice on the cross leads to transformation by the renewing of our minds (Romans 12:2).

Coaching promotes transformation one person at a time as we invest ourselves in helping others in their renewal.

Are you seeking the renewal of your mind through the absorption of God’s word?

How can you begin contributing to God’s desire to transform the world this year?
