My prayer is that God in His infinite mercy shall not leave us to suffer. Whatever problem we are going through, God will deliver us in Jesus’ name. God knows whatever sit-uation we are facing at present. So, do things as you possibly can or to the best of your ability. Put God first in all you do in life. Under any circumst-ance, always do your best, no more and no less.

But keep in mind that your best is never going to be the same from one mo-ment to the next.

Everything is alive and changing all the time, so your best will sometimes be of a high quality, and other times it will not be as good. If you try too hard and do more than your best, you will spend more energy than is needed and in the end your best will not be enough. When you overdo, you deplete your body and go against your-self, and it will take you longer to accomplish your goal.

But if you do less than your best, you subject yourself to frustrations, guilt and regrets. Just do your best in any circumstance in your life. It doesn’t matter if you are sick or tired, if you always do your best there is no way you can judge yourself. And if you don’t judge yourself there is no way you are going to suffer from guilt, blame, and self-punishment. By always doing your best, you will break a big spell you have been under. Man cannot succeed or over-come obstacles except through the grace of the Almighty God. God has the power to elevate an orph-an from the slum. I Samuel 2:7-8 “The Lord maketh poor, and maketh rich: he bringeth low, and lifteth up. He raiseth up the poor out of the dust, and lifteth up the beggar from the dunghill, to set them among princes, and to make them inherit the throne of glory: for the pillars of the earth are the LORD’s, and he hath set the world upon them”.

As a good Christian you shouldn’t lust over mater-ial things of this world be-cause they are all vanity but live the life God has in store for you. Imagine someone leaving home for work as early as 5.00 am and coming back home as late at 11.00 pm, putting his health in danger, not spending quality time wi-th his family all in the name of securing the fami-ly’s future, he displeases himself at the rate of pleas-ing others. I never dispute the fact that a man should work hard because a hard-working and humble man is a friend of God but al-ways have time for God and yourself.

It takes the grace of God to reach your destination in life. Without the help of God it is like trying to cut down a whole forest with a vegetable knife, you can imagine how effortless it will be. I implore you to do your best, leave the rest for God. Be a goal-getter, an achiever but not to step on others in order to achieve your goals.

There is a saying “one step at a time“, crawl, walk and even run when you ought to but always rem-ember that whoever stret-ches beyond his limits will definitely break into shatt-ered pieces, run a little and allow God Almighty to complete the race for you.
