If fretting was an Olympic sport, I__ own the gold medal

The next time you__e waiting, redeem the time through prayer. You__l be amazed at what you can accomplish.

When I capture my thoughts and compare them to the truth of God__ Word, I often find they are false, deceptive, or destructive.

I can__ curse those who don't believe as I do. I can__ express hate or disdain for those who criticize what I hold dear. I can__ outshout, bully, or taunt them. I can__ exercise the liberty of free speech because I answer to a higher law.I answer to the Word of God.

If we stop to ponder the paths of our feet, would we: Allow our children to participate in sports or activities that will ultimately consume our family time, dictate our schedules, and cause us to miss church on a regular basis?

When I intentionally thank God for the good gifts that come from being his child, I find it almost impossible to maintain my sour disposition.
