Resolutions are what we determine will happen, based on convictions, personal disciplines, strong purpose, clear vision, or a sense of mission. Predictions are things we anticipate might happen. These are based on assumptions, opinions, trends, or feelings. When you think about it, predictions and worry have a lot in common...they both forecast the future based on assumptions or feelings. They waste your energy and rob you of the joy of living today.

Our Weaknesses
We often expend too much energy hiding our weaknesses in order to win the approval of others. Chuck Swindoll encourages us to let the truth shine through!
Ministry Letter June 2020
