Say repeatedly to  Him: \u201cWhom have I on earth besides Thee; Whom in Heaven but Thee?<\/li>\n<li>Know that you have no righteousness of your own. Never  be pleased with yourself nor exult in any virtues; ascribe everything to  God and give Him all the glory and honor.<\/li>\n<li>Remember that good works only come through Christ. All  of our actions are mixed with inclinations towards pride, vanity,  self-love and the like. But a Christian should not worry about what he  or she does so long as it is done with a desire to please God.<\/li>\n<li>Recognize the devil is a real individual, bent on destroying you but do not fear him.<\/li>\n<li>Always pray to God and say in every circumstance, \u201cThy will be done\u201d. This will be your anchor and your salvation.<\/li>\n<li>Love the cross. Accept suffering patiently; never  complain. Why worry whether it is wastelands or meadows through which  you pass, so long as God is with you and you arrive at blessed eternity?<\/li>\n<li>Offer every action up to God. No matter how simple or trivial, refer everything to God and live and move in Him.<\/li>\n<li>Never worry. Anxieties are a waste of time; they befoul our good actions; because of lack of confidence in God\u2019s concern for us.<\/li>\n<li>Aspire to the heavenly prize. Continually look to eternity in heaven and despise the comfort and affairs of the world.<\/li>\n<li>Rejoice in the Lord. Never be melancholy, serve the Lord with joy. Joy, with peace is a sister of charity.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Put your trust in Christ as your personal Savior.
