    Although i have accomplished the majority of these things,
    through my experience with God i have....
    learned to put superficial things on the side and not
    "worry so much about mundane things" such as
    #1 my final home is in heaven
    #10 God sent me a passionate man -
    so i forgot if i EVER did have a passionate love affair.
    #13 selfish yes, but for the Lord- i want all that He gives me.
    #15 beauty is only skin deep.
    #19 had credits cards, got me in trouble because i was in the world
    and had not trusted God to supply my needs.
    #20 I call on Jesus, He listens and comes to my rescue.
    #25 only the Bible can train me
    #30 The Bible says to confess our faults to each other.
    #26 don't claim "amnesia" that is the work of the enemy- i am
    "always aware and ready to serve God when He calls.
    #34 had that picture, but my heart is what is "drop dead georgeous"
    #36 That doesn't matter,the Bible taught me to be forgiving and loving.
    #38 i don't have to fantasize-God planned my life before i was born.
    #40 don't have to worry, cause God will make it come true
    
    TWENTY CANS OF SUCCESS
    1. Why should i say I can't when the Bible says I can do all things through Christ who gives me strength ( Phil 4:13)?
    2. Why should i lack when i know that God shall supply all my needs according to His riches in glory in Christ Jesus (Phil 4:19)?
    3. Why should I fear when the Bible says God has not given me a spirit of fear, but of power, love and a sound mind (2 Tim. 1:7)?
    4. Why should I lack faith to fulfill my calling knowing that God has allotted to me a measure of faith ( Rom. 12:3)?
    5. Why should I be weak when the Bible says that the Lord is the strength of my life and that I will display strength and take action because I know God ( Psalm 27:1; Dan. 11:32)?
    6. Why should I allow Satan supremacy over my life when He that is in me is greater than he that is in the world? (1John 4:4)?
    7. Why should I accept defeat when the Bible says that God always leads me in triumph(2 Cor2:14)?
       
    8. Why should I lack wisdom when Christ became wisdom to me
       from God and God gives wisdom to me generously when I ask Him for it ( 1 Cor. 1:30; Jas. 1:5)?
       
    9. Why should I be depressed when I can recall to mind God's
       lovingkindness, compassion and faithfulness and have hope ( Lam.3:21-23)?
       
    10. Why should I worry and fret when I can cast all my anxiey
        on Christ who cares for me ( 1 Pet. 5:7)?
    11. Why should I ever be in bondage knowing that there is liberty
        where the Spirit of the Lord is (2 Cor. 3:17; Gal. 5:1)?
        
    12. Why should I feel condemned when the Bible says I am not
        condemned because I am in Christ ( Rom. 8:1)?
    13. Why should I feel alone when Jesus said He is with me
        always and He will never leave me nor forsake me (Matt. 28:20; Heb. 13:5)?
        
    14. Why should I feel accursed or that I am the victim of
        bad luck when the Bible says that Christ redeemed me from the
        curse of the law that I might receive His Spirit(Gal. 3:13,14)?
        
    15. Why should I be discontented when I,like Paul, can
        learn to be content in all my circumstance (Phil 4:11)?
    16. Why should I feel worthless when Christ became sin
        on my behalf that I might become the righteousness
        of God in Him ( 2 Cor. 5:21)?
        
    17. Why should I have a persecution complex knowing that
        nobody can be against me when God is for me (Rom. 8:31)?
        
    18. Why should I be confused when God is the author
        of peace and He gives me knowledge through HIs indwelling
        Spirit ( 1 Cor. 14:33; 2:12)?
        
    19. Why should I feel like a failure when I am a conqueror
        in all things through Christ ( Rom. 8:37)?
        
    20. Why should I let the pressures of life bother me when
        I can take courage knowing that Jesus has overcome the world
        and its tribulations (Eph. 4:27; James 4:7)?
