1.DONT FOCUS ON YOUR CHALLENGES,(THE MORE YOU LOOK,THE BIGGER THEY BECOME)
Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God.- HEBREWS 12:2 KJV

2_SET THE LORD ALWAYS BEFORE YOU:HE WILL ENSURE YOU DONT DERAIL
I have set the Lord always before me: because he is at my right hand, I shall not be moved.-PSALM:16:8 KJV, did you say 'HOW CAN I MAKE GOD MY PRIORITY? THIS SITUATION IS STARING ME IN THE FACE,IT MUST BE SETTLED BEFORE I CAN MOVE AHEAD'.
SET GOD NOT THE CHALLENGE BEFORE YOU,GET GOD ON THE SCENE,HOW?
ITS YOUR PRAISE NOT YOUR GRUMBLING THAT GETS GOD ON THE SCENE,
Psalm 22:3 KJV -But thou art holy, O thou that inhabitest the praises of Israel
GOD DWELLS IN PRAISE,GIVE GOD PLENTY PRAISE,GIVE HIM PRAISE FOR WHO HE IS.EACH TIME THE CHALLENGE COMES TO MIND,PRAISE HIM FOR THE INTEGRITY OF HIS WORD,PRAISE HIM FOR HIS FAITHFULNESS,PRAISE GOD INSTEAD OF SORROWING. EACH TIME,THE DEVIL REMINDS YOU OF THE ISSUES,INSTEAD OF WORRYING,PRAISE GOD.
DO YOU KNOW WHAT? CHALLENGES,ROADBLOCKS ,HINDRANCES WHICH ARE MEANT TO DISTRACT YOU, ARE AFRAID OF YOUR GOD AND MY GOD,YOUR FATHER AND MY FATHER- THEY FLEE WHEN GOD SHOWS UP!
Judah was his sanctuary, and Israel his dominion. [3] The sea saw it , and fled: Jordan was driven back. [4] The mountains skipped like rams, and the little hills like lambs. [5] What ailed thee, O thou sea, that thou fleddest? thou Jordan, that thou wast driven back? [6] Ye mountains, that ye skipped like rams; and ye little hills, like lambs? [7] Tremble, thou earth, at the presence of the Lord, at the presence of the God of Jacob.-PSALM 114:3-7
PRAISE GOD! HALLELUYAH! GLORY TO GOD! THANK YOU JESUS!LET THAT BE OUR SONG FRIENDS! OUR GOD WILL SHOW UP& ALL THE EARTH SHALL SEE HIS GLORY UPON US.

DONT LET THE DEVIL WEIGH YOU DOWN.
