15 I don't really understand myself, for I want to do what is right, but I don't do it. Instead, I do what I hate. 18 ... I want to do what is right, but I can't. 19 I want to do what is good, but I don't. I don't want to do what is wrong, but I do it anyway.
- Romans 7:15, 18-19 NLT

4 ... but they couldn't find anything to criticize or condemn. He was faithful, always responsible, and completely trustworthy.
- Daniel 6:4 NLT
10 But when Daniel learned that the law had been signed, he went home and knelt down as usual in his upstairs room, with his windows open toward Jerusalem. He prayed three times a day, just as he had always done, giving thanks to his God.
- Daniel 6:10 NLT
23 ... And when Daniel was lifted from the den, no wound was found on him, because he had trusted in his God.

HOW DO WE GROW IN CONSISTENCY?
1) START WITH THE "WHY."
2) PLAN TO FAIL.
3) FALL IN LOVE WITH THE PROCESS.
