My kids will often beg for this or that, and they'll wish for that or this, and quite regularly whine when things aren't just so... but once in a while, one of them will step forward with a determination to get our help to accomplish something that they can't completely do on their own, refusing to set it aside any longer. They have a resolved intention to GET IT DONE, whatever it takes. Right or wrong, that's the child who finally gets our undivided attention and help.

We've learned a lot watching our daughter take initiative. She may not know WHAT to do, but she'll lock on to the vision of what the results will be, and she knows that with our help she can accomplish anything.

If you could have God's help with something THIS WEEK, what would you have Him help you do? Are you clear on what it is? Are you determined to do everything in your power to make the good fortune happen? Are you willing to pray like it depends on Him but work like it depends on you?

Practice operating this week with resolved intention. Decide, first, what you want to accomplish, and then get behind it 100%. Give it all you've got, and envision God helping you as a loving parent who can no longer ignore your requests because you're a determined, persistent, willing and teachable child. Don't hold back. Throw your heart into it, be at peace, trust God to provide and watch the results be grander than you've ever seen them be.
