Abide or Backsilde?
It’s Imperative for us to pray and meditate on God’s Truth everyday in order to obtain the strength to obey and the guts and inspiration to stay – the course that is. It takes time to “change your mind” but when you do you will change your life. For better or worse, for richer or poorer, sickness or health will be largely determined by how we think. If you think weak, sick and poor then you will be. Even if you obtain some measure of success on the out side you’ll still have your poor old miserable self on the inside. True change comes from the inside when you know the Truth.
3 John 2-4
2 Beloved, I pray that you may prosper in all things and be in health, just as your soul prospers. 3 For I rejoiced greatly when brethren came and testified of the truth that is in you, just as you walk in the truth. 4 I have no greater joy than to hear that my children walk in truth.
NKJV

John 8:31-32
NKJV
Then Jesus said to those Jews who believed Him, "If you abide in My word, you are My disciples indeed. 32 And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free."
MES
31 Then Jesus turned to the Jews who had claimed to believe in him. "If you stick with this, living out what I tell you, you are my disciples for sure. 32 Then you will experience for yourselves the truth, and the truth will free you."
In Gods Word I decide to abide, He teaches me from the inside, In Him I confide and walk in stride, faith will not be denied, thus freedom God’s Truth does provide!
