Ask yourself Quote by Gary Chapman

“Some good questions to ask yourself are, What can I do today that may improve my situation? What do I need to pray about today? With whom do I need to talk today? What action do I need to take today? God has entrusted to you only the present, and wise use of today is all that he expects.” quote by Gary Chapman — Download Open image
