Bringing the ZP once again

So once again bringing the element of surprise. A few days ago I challenged myself to not lose my temper for 21 days, thus far it has not worked out. It's been said that if you do something for 21 days it becomes habit. Does that mean I lost my temper for 21 days that is why I do it do consecutively. If that be the case then the spell can be broken in 21 days. With that said 21 is a multiple of 7. Why do I bring that up? In The Bible 7 is the perfect number. I have always felt a presence of God in my life. The number 7 has always come up in my life confirming the omnipresence of God. When I was a kid 7 was my "lucky" number. When my wife and I got engaged we had been dating for 7 months. We got engaged on the 7th month on the 7 day. We married on December 21st, a multiple of 7. We decided to married on a Sunday to save money, but God had a bigger plan being 21 is a multiple of 7. Tayler our son was born April 7th. This year in T-ball Tayler picked his number the number 21. With all that said the number 7 always prevails somehow in my life. So, 21 days of not losing my temper will be a success. My temper is a habit. Even better it is negative habit. If I replace my negative with "Happy Thoughts" I will be able to fly. I have decided to to break down the 21 days in, ZP (element of Surprise) into multiples of 7. Broken down, I will not get angry for 7mins, those mins will become 14mins, then 21 mins... Then those 7 min intervals will then be 7 hours. Those hours will become 7 days. Repeat for 3 weeks I will accomplish my goal of 21 days. I have not publicly prayed in a very long time. What better way to have it be public then with social media. For some reason I am lead to do it now.

Daddy,
Give me the strength to live TheXLAntLIFE, give me the strength to be a better man, father,husband, and son. Allow me to bask in your Reign, to soak it in, so it can be poured on to all who I come in contact with. Allow me to use ZP in my everyday to prevail in all that I do. Guide me over the next 21 days. Forgive me for all my wrong doings, and guide your son in a manner that is uplifting. Here is to "After Today." Amen.
