DO YOU REMEMBER learning to ride a bicycle? Even with
training wheels, there was usually someone by your side acting as
your coach. Maybe it was a parent, sibling, or friend. They held
on to the seat, walking with you and offering encouragement until
you were ready to ride on your own. The training wheels stayed
on until your confidence and skills grew.
Life works the same way. Learning to navigate its challenges
requires coaching. We need guidance to avoid danger and
maneuver safely through rough spots.
The good news is that the ultimate Life Coach—God
Himself—is standing by ready to help. When you invite Him into
your life by accepting His Son, Jesus, as your Savior, He promises
to “never leave you nor forsake you” (Heb. 13:5 New King James
Version).
He will always be with you. Through His Word, the
Bible, He will coach you to victory.
The Bible says, “If you confess with your mouth that Jesus
is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the
dead, you will be saved” (Romans 10:9 New Living Translation).
If you’ve never received Jesus as your Savior, you can do so right
now. Pray this prayer from your heart:
God, I need help with my life. I’m tired of trying to do it on my
own. Please help me. I confess out loud that Jesus is my Lord, and
I believe in my heart that You raised Him from the dead. You said
that if I would do that, I would be saved. So thank You for saving
me! Please coach me through life. You promised to never leave
me or forsake me. I take You at Your word.
If you prayed this prayer, welcome to God’s family! You just
made the most important decision of your life. From this day
on, God will always be with you. And He really will coach you
toward a victorious life.
