For My yoke is easy and My burden is light.\nMatthew 11:28-30\nIf you are in a cycle of failure, it is not who you are. If you are in\na place where there seems to be no escape it is not your home. Even if you deserve what is going on in your life, the Father does not desire that for you. There will always be trials and tribulations. It all depends on how you handle them with your attitude and perspective. Let peace overtake worry, let confidence overtake fear, and let joy overtake sadness. Cycles can never be broken\nin your own strength. Silence is never the solution. Jesus is\nthe answer! He is with you in every mistake and every lapse of judgment. He will never leave you. He has defeated sin and has given us the victory. There is hope! It is never too late. Expose whatever is holding you back, repent, and pursue the Lord with every fiber, every breath, and every thought of your being. Don\u2019t wait, just reset.\nACTION\nIt is a new year, Hallelujah. Take time to repent and draw close to the Lord. Let Him reset and refresh you for this new year.\nPRAYER\nLord, I am sorry for all of the ways I have fallen short of following You. Help me to focus on You and to not do things in my own strength. Help me to truly rest and abide in You this year. I want\nto follow You, Jesus, with my whole heart!","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300,"thumbnail_url":"https://artwork.captivate.fm/647263b5-8a4e-49cc-9cbd-7e2ced628218/ctfr-podcast-artwork-3000px.jpg"}
