The other day I was talking to a friend of mine and I told her:" When I don't know what to do, I do what I am best at and that is running away from God". But what I really need to do in those situations is the basics and not walk away from God. Sometimes we have to get back to basics.

What I am about to say are the key elements to being a successful christian. Anybody who want to get back on the right track need to get back to basics. Anybody who is on the right track need to continue doing these basics. The basics are easy things to do and therefore there shouldn't be an excuse why you aren't doing these three things:

1. Pray
2. Read God's Word
3. Based on 1 and 2 do what is right and don't do what is wrong.

Having said that I am not perfect. But I do have a choice every day to either make these basics a part of my life or occupy my mind with everything but these essential basics. So next time I don't know what to do and want to give up I just got to go back to basics. Just like you should go back to basics when you feel your life is out of control and off track!
