Attitudes/Answers with Olen Baker

Simple.  Stop trying and start listening.  We are in such a hurry with our own agenda.  How about taking a moment to ask God to show us the way.  Like I said, simple.

Look to Jesus to help change your way of thinking and make you into a new person.  You don't have to do it alone.  He is there and always will be.

Our world always faces overwhelming challenges.  It's up to you and me to follow a path that brings peace and hope.  Starting with a strong relationship with Jesus Christ is the most important, and first step.  Walk into this new year with Jesus at the center of everything you do.

God is always at work to help us move through the bad times and correct mistakes that will keep them from happening over and over.  Allow him to be part of every minute of every day, and use this day to turn the corner and find joy in your life.

Life is full of surprises, some nice and some challenging.  The key is to never be caught off guard.  And guess what, God knows exactly what you need to do.

God has been speaking to you every day of your life.  The key is to be listening and open to his instruction and inspiration.  Go ahead, ask God what he sees in your tomorrow.  

Faith is God's gift and comes with assurance that life can be good, even on the darkest of days.  Faith is a bridge, specially designed for you.

God wants all of us to live each day with a realistic view of our world and our place in the world.  It doesn't come without challenges.  Challenges are part of God's training.  Lean from those, each day.

God has a plan for EVERY stage of our lives.  Sure, our bodies and capabilities change, but WHO WE ARE at the core, never changes.

Whether we win or lose is not always dependent on performance, but conditions beyond our control.  Still, how we can manage that emotion?

God is constantly reaching out to each of us with a message of hope.  He also reassures us that He is at the center of everything we do.  Your faith is strongest when you see that too.

God opens doors for all of us to see what might be possible in our lives.  Be open to listening to your next great adventure.

Comfort is found by voicing your trust in Jesus.  His gift of faith gives you strength and hope.  

Does God give gifts to people?  The answer is always "yes".  But sometimes we don't see the "gift" in his message.

Every day of our life, we build memories and those memories and experiences craft who we are.  Life is not easy.  It wasn't intended to be.  Life is a series of events meant to prepare us for our eternal life with God.  Every day, find something you did, or an experience you had that was a positive event and take that into tomorrow.  Do it one day at a time.

It's simple.  Be at peace with who you are.  We are not perfect, but God has given each of us a special gift that can benefit others.  Look deep inside because YOU'VE got it.  Be thankful for that gift.

Gratitude is an attitude that gives is inspiration and hope for the new day.  It's a feeling that life is indeed worth living.  So take that feeling inside and share it with someone else.  Gratitude grows easily when you are the voice.  Make your voice heard, today.  Someone out there is in need of a lift right now.

Havve you ever felt alone?  When no one in the world is thinking or caring about where you're at or how you're doing.  That happens.  But consider that God is with us 24/7, without fail.  Next time alone happens, start a conversation with God.

It's so easy to find flaws in other people.  After all, they're finding flaws in you, right?  Instead, look at the other person and discover something good about them.  Then, take that big step, and tell them.  It's a powerful message of...love.

Instead of attacking a problem head on, take a moment to discover mutual feelings of gratitude.  The count to ten saying is more about taking time to talk to God before launching into an attack.  God is there to give us wisdom and peace, BEFORE the crisis escalates.
