Daniel N. Brown

The greatest tool the enemy uses against us in life is fear, because fear keeps us from doing many of those things we would like to do in order to make our lives, and the lives of others, more complete and prosperous.

Do you worry? Are you concerned about your future to the point where it steals your joy? Jesus said in Matthew 6:25, “Take no thought for your life.”That seems simple enough, but for some reason we don’t get it.

Do you find yourself living from paycheck to paycheck? Do you often feel overwhelmed, tired, and worn out? Are you in debt? Is there no enjoyment in what you do?

Do you feel like you are caught up in the same old routine day after day and feel like you're getting nowhere? Do you feel like you are capable of having more, doing more, and being more?

What do you think about yourself? How do you view the real you? When you look into the mirror, what are you thinking? Do you think things like, you’re a winner, I’m proud of you, I love you, and I believe in you.

What brought about your current circumstances? Have you ever really thought hard about it? Consider your job, your finances, your health, your relationships. Do you ever wonder what brought about the conditions of each area? How much of it was God?

We all know that athletes need endurance training for physical stamina and mental toughness. When game time arrives, he or she will be ready to do battle and will have a greater chance at victory.
