I, too, had to learn Obedience. And still learning as we speak, ha!

My life today is not perfect if you were to look more closely, however,

I choose to agree with God.

I deal with much of the same things as you and everyone else in life.

[God has taught me to Agree with Him by speaking the word of God as though

what I am praying for has already come to pass]. 

It is much like being a child looking for a Birthday Present.

Only we are fully grown and God is the one that Promise the Gift.

Do we believe Him or not??? Yes, we believe Him.

He has a great tract record. He is always faithful. He always tell the truth.

The devil, our real eneny,  is a liar and master deceiver.

So, we choose to override doubt and choose to believe our God.

Use our imagination (much like a child) to dream orday dream about the good life.

The abundant life Christ has already provided for each of us.

Life as a believer and worshiper is not just a bunch of rules and formulas to keep or memorize.

It is doing one thing - One Commandment: Love. Love God, people and your-self.

Love changes and transforms us into the very image of Christ. It is done by real fellowship day-to-day.

It is doing the little things we all do (to and for) other people. How we treat them is exactly how we treat God! Jesus! Holy Spirit!.

What we sow is what we reap.

For example: If I were to fast, pray and do (all) the right things - But continue to allow my temper, my tongue, unforgiveness, worry, strife, complaints and everything gone bad (become first place); I would be defeated.

But, when I see what is happening and repent (change my mind), I  begin to apologize, and think very hard (with God in first place) to say and do only what would bless, build up or encourage:

I am victorious in Christ based on (my choice) to be a (doer) of God's word and not just a hearer.  To obey God is better than to sacrifice time and effort to impress anyone, ha!

You, too, can learn to respond rather than react to everything in life.

Be obedient to do what you know is pleasing to God, first. He will do the rest.

Agree with God no matter what; He backes his word.

Love and appreciate you! In Him.
