Here are five of the most common ones:

1.    Many people are driven by guilt.
2.    Many people are driven my resentment & anger.
3.    Many people are driven by fear.
4.    Many people are driven my materialism.
5.    Many people are driven by need for approval.

If you are driven my any of these common forces, the Bible offers help:

1.    “What happiness for those whose guilt has been forgiven! What relief for those who have confessed their sins and God has cleared their record?”
2.    “To worry yourself to death with resentment would be a foolish, senseless thing to do”.
3.    “Well formed love banishes fear. Since fear is crippling, a fearful life- fear of death, fear of judgment- is one not yet fully formed in love”. (I love this one because it speaks to my heart).
4.    Self worth & net worth are not the same. Your value is not determined by your valuables, and God says the most valuable things in life are not things!
5.    Jesus said “ No one can serve two masters”.

Question to consider: What would my family and friends say is the driving force of my life? What do I want it to be?
