Resolutions Reinforced by Prayer

"Then we will not turn back from You; Revive us, and we will call upon Your name." - Psalm 80:18

"We will not turn back from You." This was the right decision, the right desire, the right promise. However, without prayer, the decision wouldn't be fulfilled, the desire wouldn't come to pass, and the promise wouldn't be acted upon. Alongside making the right decision, they also prayed: "Revive us." It's impossible to realize our good resolutions without God's reviving power. I've never been able to fulfill my good resolutions when I've tried to do it on my own.

Hence, let every decision I make be accompanied by prayer.
