When we change our eating habits or exercise routine, we might be able to see and feel the difference in our bodies pretty quickly. But we know there are often benefits that we may never fully realize because we made those changes. The same is true with faith resolutions. You may find more focus in your day because you intentionally set aside time to pray or read the Bible. You may look at your budget differently because you give more to organizations that are important to our community. But the real benefits of a deeper faith life don’t show until a time of testing. Our prayer practices can help us to center, the Bible can offer encouragement, and the organizations we supported may end up helping us on many levels. Stay strong! —Pastor Trudy
