You may be among the many of us who have heard this phrase at least once in your life, "The Battle is not yours; (it's the Lord's). 
When I didn't have a better sense, I use to think that each individual is their own boss. We make our own decisions, and each of us has our own life to live. We try to survive this journey in the best way we know. As I started to know God more, I experienced Him more. I understood better that without God, man would have never existed. 

It was a striking realization that "I am not my own boss." If I were my own boss, I would not feel so constantly in need. If I am my own boss, then why do things go out of control in my own life? Why don't my plan always work? 

We all have a responsibility of how we live our lives but we do not have ultimate control of it. 
The fact that God created us makes it evident that we are not in charge. Hence, we often find that life sometimes becomes unbearable because we simply don't have the power over what ultimately happens in and around us.

Have you ever wondered why so many celebrities, eminent persons in society, Christian and political leaders tend to fall? All of the goodness, integrity, loyalty, an respect they had is diminish the moment they loose their focus. Everyone of us face the tag-of- war of staying focus in one way or the other. Sometimes it's hard stay focus completely on one thing when we have so many priorities. But if we loose sight of the main thing, we may loose everything. Why do you think many Christians tend to find that their lives are going out of control. They realize that the power of control they thought they had is not strong enough to keep up with the challenges along the way. We have simply lost our focus on God. 
If you loose your focus on God, you will loose focus on everything else. Never forget who the real boss is. Never go against His expectations. The most dominant factor of the destruction or fall of many successful people is pride.-Or, that's what I believe!

As Christians, we should never forget why we do what we do. Whatever we do is for the glory of our KING. When the test of times comes, think about the reward in the long run rather than the challenges that you face in the short term. Eliminate the distractions. Focus on what really matters.

Why do we loose our focus!
1. You don't have a plan or proper guidelines
2. You place priority on the wrong things
3. You forget who you are
4. Wrong intentions/motives
5. You compare and compete with others, you don't need too
Other:
 6. Hardship, pain
 7.Wrong influence (bad friends, media, worldly    trends)

It is unfortunate how we sometimes treat our bodies with such disrespect and devalue. I believe  that people treat their bodies based on what they think of it. Hence, there is misappropriate use of this delicate creation. Your body is not a toy. It's not a sex machine, nor is it just waste. Your body is more than flesh. It's the God given shelter for our wandering souls to live in.  It's temporary, but the value of your body is beyond the value of money. It is God's dwelling place here on earth.  Our bodies represent the Creator, God. Although this fleshly beauty will one day deteriorate, taking care of your body and using it appropriately will attract massive gains in the long run. To refuse to properly use your body may lead you to some very harsh consequences.

1 Corinthians 3:16-17 ESV  "Do you not know that you are God's temple and that God's Spirit dwells in you? If anyone destroys God's temple, God will destroy him. For God's temple is holy, and you are that temple."
