Jesus, when I compare the way You think to the way the people around me think, it soon becomes obvious to me why so many are failing at life. You evaluate people based on their internal character rather than external appearances and accomplishments. You put much more importance on honesty and integrity than good looks, skills, talents, achievements, and personality. Help me do that in my relationship with myself and with my relationships with other people.

Jesus,when I fail people and they fail me, show me that the main reason is because of moral and honesty issues. I would be a lot happier and so would my friends, if both of us were more honest and faithful to each other. You, through the Bible, have provided me with a lot of guidance on how to succeed in my relationships and the other aspects of my life.

Jesus, if I choose the wrong people to associate with, the wrong company to work for, the wrong pleasures to experience, the wrong solutions to my problems, and the wrong principles to live by, it makes sense that my life won’t end up well. Help me learn how to consult you on these and many other decisions and issues.

Jesus, take me through the Bible; deal with all these issues and much more in my life. Use this magazine to take me into the principles that You taught; and, help me get them working in my life. Millions have already tried them; and, You have already proven to them that the Bible is the complete answer for anyone who wants to live a successful life.
