3. Live Righteously.
4. Prayerfully select righteous goals (desires).
5. Specify your goal (desires) in writing.
6. Specify when your goal (desire) will be attained.
7. Plead your case before the Lord, telling him what effort or sacrifice you are willing to make to achieve the goal.
8. Consistently think about your goal.
9. Use all of your will power to think positively about your potential to achieve your goal with the Lord's help.

12. Make your specific goal a matter of constant prayer.
13. Pray that the Lord will enhance your ability to exercise faith as a principle of power.
