Praying About Resolutions

I'm praying about my New Year's resolutions. It may sound odd that I 'm praying about my choices of how to improve in 2014, but I believe this is actually a sacred priority. Scripture declares that every believer is a work in progress under divine direction, so why would I not seek His wisdom in what my role will be next year in this holy reconfiguration? In fact, I see this as what separates futile self-improvement effort from full-scale rehabilitation. I want Christ to restore His original intent for my life. Although too often I choose to self-deconstruct, this is my opportunity to set things aright. Why not join me in seeking the Father's plans for 2014?  I know that I'll be doing this again at the end of next year, but in between I plan to be conformed a little more accurately to the image of Christ.
