Proverbs 16:1-3
1The plans of the heart belong to man,
but the answer of the tongue is from the LORD.
2All the ways of a man are pure in his own eyes,
but the LORD weighs the spirit.a
3Commit your work to the LORD,
and your plans will be established.

Temptation tries to redefine you
Delay tries to drain your faith
Opposition tries to force you to quit
Fear tries to intimidate
Shame tries to make you hide
