"Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.
Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you. Cleanse your hands, ye sinners; and purify your hearts, ye double minded."
James 4:7-8
I like these simple steps. It doesn't always feel simple, but worth it to think about it on a basic level... don't resist God, but DO resist Satan. Choose who you are opening your soul to, and be wise. Work on having a relationship with God and he will match and multiply your effort. Don't give up or assume that prayer, or church, or whatever else is "not your thing" ... God has the power to help any of us, and even all of us, to be his true children, heirs of the Kingdom, and worthy. Ask for it, work for it... God is here to save us, not to reject us.
Today, let's cleanse our hands and purify our hearts and know that the gospel is for us, individually as well as collectively. God didn't leave any of us out of his plan. Let's think about these verses today, and grow closer to God.
