Imagine if someone walked up to you and said, “I’m going to give you more money than you ever dreamed of, absolute freedom in how you spend it, and oodles of time in which to do it.” That’s pretty much what happened to me when I was drafted into the NFL. You may think that having that much freedom is a good thing. But remove all of the normal restraints from your life, and you would be surprised at what comes out. Thankfully, I have always had family and friends to hold me in check. You may not play in the NFL, but you still face temptations every day. Make sure the people in your life are those who can help you make it through such situations.
Do you need checks and balances in your life? Why not ask Jesus for help? We encourage you to pray the following:
Lord Jesus, I want to know You personally. Thank You for dying on the cross for my sins. I open the door of my life and receive You as my Savior and Lord. Thank You for forgiving my sins and giving me eternal life. Take control of my life. Make me be the person You want me to be. Amen.
Saying this prayer is the first step towards a personal relationship with Jesus. We would love to pray for you and send you further information.
