God wants us to learn from our mistakes. Whenever we feel as though we have already faced a certain problem, we must take time for some serious reflection and ask ourselves why we are having to repeat the process over again. When we pray, God will answer. True Champions do not spend their lives trying to GET IT RIGHT, they spend their time getting better. If we desire to be all GOD has called us to be, we must be a people who are willing to do it over until we get it RIGHT and then go on to get it even better. God wants us to learn all we can from life's difficulties. As you go throug each one, ask HIM to help you grow in your faith and show you ways you can honor HIM with your life. {Lord, please help me discern what lesson YOU want to teach me in each situation in my life, IN JESUS NAME, AMEN.}

David in the bible personally discovered that brokenness leads to GODLY wholeness. It can come to the life of the believer in many ways----disappointment, sorrow, and sin. Maybe GOD instructs us to go one way, but we are determined to go another. The result is frustration and brokenness. Sometimes, brokenness comes not because we have done anything wrong, but because GOD wants to test and strengthen our faith. Brokenness has a way of revealing our level of faith better than anything else. When it continues over months and even years, we truly learn where the focus of our faith lies. REMEMBER, if GOD has chosen you to face a time of brokeness, it will be followed by a season of TREMENDOUS blessing.

{Prayer--Lord, I surrender my life to YOU!}.
