Principle 7: Reserve a daily time with God for self-examination, Bible reading and prayer in order to know God and His will for my life, and to gain the power to follow His will.

Next Step:
You never have to teach a child the word “mine.” Somehow, this is inherently learned. Ever notice all the emotional stuff we claim as “mine”? We can convince ourselves that all this “stuff” is ours; that it has value to hang onto; that it would be a travesty to let it go. But what if it was never ours in the first place, but actually all belonged to God? What if the value is actually found in hanging onto Him and not our “stuff”? Perhaps we would be more peaceful, less burdened, more grateful.
Our next step is to totally turn our will and our “stuff” over to God and see what He spills back to us. It was never “mine” to carry in the first place.
