Living for God and following His word is a life long commitment that requires study, prayer, and devotion. It is not a a change that is completed in an instant. As Christians we should strive each day to become just A Little Closer To God.
We are not promised a new day so we should give each day over to God and let him manage our day. Luke 22:42 -- "Father, if you are willing, take this cup from me; yet not my will, but yours be done."
