FAITHFUL FOR A PROMISE
A promise from God is a statement we can depend on with absolute confidence. Here are 12 promises for the Christian to claim:
God’s presence -- "I will never leave thee" (Heb. 13:5)
God’s protection -- "I am thy shield" (Gen. 15:1)
God’s power -- "I will strengthen thee" (Isa. 41:10)
God’s provision -- "I will help thee" (Isa. 41:10)
God’s leading -- "And when He putteth forth His own sheep, He goeth before them" (John 10:4)
God’s purposes -- "I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the Lord, thoughts of peace, and not of evil" (Jer. 20:11)
God’s rest -- "Come unto Me, all ye that labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest" (Matt. 11:28)
God’s cleansing -- "If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness" (1 John 1:9)
God’s goodness -- "No good thing will He withhold from them that work uprightly" (Psalm 84:11)
God’s faithfulness -- "The Lord will not forsake His people for His great name’s sake" (1 Sam. 12:22)

CARE ENOUGH TO CONFRONT
1. Confront ASAP
2. Address the wrong action, not the person
3. Confront only what the person can change
4. Give the person the benefit of the doubt
5. Be specific
6. Avoid sarcasm
7. Avoid words like "always" and "never"
8. If appropriate, tell the person how you feel about what was done wrong
9. Give the person a game plan to fix the problem
10. Affirm him or her as a person and a friend

GUARD YOUR THINKING
- Your thoughts determine your character
- Be careful of you thoughts; they may break into words at any time
- Don't waste your thoughts on whose who don't hunger for them
- The first person you lead is you, and the first organ you master is your mind
- Don't let your mind drift away from God's truth and into vain envy
- Stay confident that your vision will come to pass
- Discipline your thoughts to remain steadfast in what you know is right
