Being resolute to enact serious changes is required as we realize more than a makeover is needed to fix bad choices. A college freshman spent the fall semester celebrating life away from home but then had to learn the meaning of academic probation. Developing explicit study habits and attending class saved his college career.
Most people enact specific values to live by while others use vague guidelines to determine their conduct. Values help each person stay focused. "Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge him, and he will guide your path” is a commitment of loyalty and faithfulness.
Frances Scott Key penned these words as our nation faced a pivotal transformation: “Then conquer we must, when our cause it is just, and this be our motto – 'In God Is Our Trust.'" So change can be enacted as we apply "In God We Trust" irrefutably to our lives. May this give you strength and hope.

Indeed, God is my salvation; I will trust him and not be
afraid, for the Lord, the Lord himself, is my strength and my song. He has
become my salvation.
