Pray

Ephesians 1:18-19 I pray also that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened in order that you may know the hope to which he has called you the riches of his glorious inheritance in the saints and his incomparably great power for us who believe. That power is like the working of his mighty strength.
In our discouragement we sometimes get stuck in tunnel vision. All we can see before us are all the things that are wrong in our lives. We know we don't have the power to change those things. They are simply out of our hands. I'm overweight I can't exercise I don't have time to exercise I can't afford to buy healthy food. I can't stay on a diet. I can't I can't I can't….. So we end up discouraged. Paul's prayer for the Ephesians has a message for us too. Pray that that the eyes of your heart will be opened to the inheritance you have as God's child. Remember how God has worked on your behalf in the past and that His power His great power is still available to you today. All you have to do is ask and believe.
