Every year, we celebrate the New Year with the tradition of looking back over the preceding year to see where we can improve ourselves. We then set resolutions or goals of improvement for those areas we find lacking.
As almost everyone knows, we are good at starting our resolutions in the beginning, but we either have good intentions, and that’s as far as it goes, or we start our resolution and it doesn’t last long enough to become a habit.
How about if we try something a bit different this year. What if we were to set daily resolutions instead of annual ones?
At the start of each day, take a moment to reflect on the previous day, then ask our Heavenly Father, “What can I do better today?” Then, select an area that you are impressed needs for improvement.
Every evening, as we pray, we seek forgiveness for our missteps, our inability to do what we were supposed to have done, and for any sins we committed during the day. We then try our best not to make the same mistakes or offenses the next day.
As we remember the life of Jesus Christ and follow his example of charity, kindness, love for all, and his fulfilling the will of our Heavenly Father. We can review our daily resolutions, and we can focus on keeping them, as we do this, the results will be seen as our resolutions are accomplished.
Remember, we may struggle in accomplishing our resolutions, but with our trust in Jesus Christ and our righteous desires, all things are possible with God’s assistance. Ask and you will receive, knock and it will be open unto you, seek and you will find.
