New Year resolutions are interesting in that most that are made are given up very quickly, and there is a sensible reason got that.
A New Year resolution is usually amde to change something in a life; if there are no changes made relating to the new resolution, it will fail.
Example: giving up cigarettes.
Unless you change the people you hang out with, you will be with people who are smoking and you will fall easily.
A resolution to change your prayer life will fail, unless you put yourself into a position where you have the time set aside to pray.
