Usually if we are failing in life, we are having issues with consistency and diligence. We have to be diligent about attending to all areas of our lives. When I first started going to church I was really diligent about going to prayer. Though I prayed everyday at the church, I was seeing little personal progress in my life. After careful thought, I discovered that there was an area in my life that I had been neglecting. I left that area unattended to because I believed that God was going to "maintain" it for me, since I was praying. However, God gives you the power to maintain all of the areas in your life.

So my prayer for you today is that you will be consistent and diligent. Have you ever wonder how unsaved people can be so successful in certain areas of their lives, though they are not apart of God's Kingdom. Well it is because of diligence and consistency. The Bible says that a "diligent hand will prosper", not a "saved hand". Those are principles that many unsaved people have mastered and leads them to success.
