11. 1. Make building your
relationship with God a
priority in life so that when
you have tough times you
have the depth of
relationship you will need to
weather the storm.

you don’t know this, you
need to make this a
fundamental truth you remind
yourself of every day.

life. If your prayer life is
feeble now, it will disintegrate
when tough times come.
