Accountability is often the glue that helps us stick to our commitments and achieve our goals. For example, research tells us that we are more likely to stick to health, exercise, and nutrition goals if we are accountable to either a friend or trainer. When we are accountable, we have both the motivation and support to achieve our goals!
As we live our lives, we must remember that we are accountable to God. He is loving and compassionate, but, when we choose to follow Him, He expects us to strive to live according to His teaching. Just like an "exercise buddy" may help us stay on track, God is there for us. He sent His Son to redeem us. He has given us the Holy Spirit to help guide us. He allows us to call on Him at any time through prayer. We have the support, we have the motivation, we need to be prepared to be accountable!
God is always ready to support you. You need to be ready to be accountable!
Prayer:
Dear God-
Thank You for always being ready to offer support, guidance, and motivation. Help me to follow You so that I can be accountable in my journey through this life and for eternity. Through Jesus I pray, amen.
