Love you all, praying for you,  
 
Have you ever wondered what people did before Nyquil?  I haven’t checked Nyquil sales – but I suspect a lot of people are Nyquil addicts.  They can’t sleep, so they take Nyquil.  The problem with taking Nyqil – just like sucking your thumb… There’s nothing really wrong with sucking your thumb.  God’s Word never says "thou shalt not suck your thumb."  But if you suck your thumb, you’ll probably do it again, and before you know it – you can’t fall asleep without sucking your thumb.  Have you every tried to break a thumb sucking habit?  (in your child, not you - your already an adult!)  It’s quite a challenge.  Breaking a Passe habit is not easy.  I’ve heard people cut off the end a little more each day – and it doesn’t work as well - they lose interest.  Others just throw it out - these hard core parents – “Passe went away” and the poor kid goes cold turkey.  But it’s hard.  Not all habits are helpful.  Hopefully you aren’t dependent on Nyquil, or a passe.  But there are some things that would really help.   What did they do before Nyquil?  They counted sheep.  Many of you aren’t old enough to remember – but that was the prescribed method.   Apparently it worked, eventually you got tired of counting and went to sleep.  There are some things God tells us to do - like Shepherds...  All habits aren’t helpful, but some are foundational.  They transfer DNA, they establish your success.  God tells us some of these.   John Maxwell said “You are what you do daily.”  To a certain extent he’s right.  Have you checked your habits recently?  God has two things for you to do - things He wants you to do every day, and things He wants you to do today.  Praying that you will check in with Him - it might be a good time for a habit check.  Are the habits you currently follow – the habits He has chosen for you?  The ones He told you to do?  Which ones did He reveal are obsolete?  Have you asked Him?  Maybe it’s time to get rid of the passe.  You don’t really need that Nyquil, maybe you just think you do.  What habits does He want you to continue.  Is there a habit whose time has ended?  Is there a habit He wants you to begin?  Is there a habit He wants you to do a little differently in this season?  Just ask Him - He'll tell you what He has for you to do every day?  So you become what He wants you to become?  What He wants to accomplish in you.  And He'll tell you what to do today  – what He wants to accomplish through you?  Praying that God might lead you to review again PRISM Topic – Habits.  It’s good to be reminded every once in a while.  So your habits are His habits for you - so you depend on Him – not anything else.  Praying that God might lead you to a habit review.  Praying that once you know the daily habits He has for you in this season, that He may even lead you to track them.  The truth is what we measure we do better... what we track, we just do more consistently.  See PiVAT Progress – a simple help for habits.  Praying that PiVAT before dinner is your never – miss.  It’s how you get His plans for you for today – the every day things, and the today thing.  So your Habit is Jesus and what He wants you to do, not passe’s or Nyquil - so you can get to the Good He has for you!
 
Love you all,
