Give me a "V." Give me an "I." Give me a "C." Give me a "T."
Give me an "O." Give me an "R." Give me a "Y."
What have you got???? VICTORY!!! (Well, not always.)

But no matter how often we led that cheer or how loud the fans joined in, history was never assured just because we knew how to spell it. But we kept hoping!
As in football, so in life. One doesn't always get the end result hoped for---you just keep hoping and trying and developing new plays or strategies.

Certainly, I have had trouble ridding myself of my worrisome thorn in the flesh. No matter how LOUDLY I cry out, sometimes there's relief/victory but more often there's not.
Both yesterday's Sunday School lesson and the sermon were based on Psalm 119---though different verses and therefore different teaching. Plus, AlwaysDistractedDotsy found a "victory lesson" in still a different Psalm 119 passage. With 176 verses, that's understandable.
In Psalm 119: 33-40, I found directions for possible victory over my malady. I even noted an alliterative title to add oomph to my memory.
"Verbs of Veracity Give Victory!"
Teach me, LORD, (choose the best teacher)
Give me (understanding, which shows me how to live)
Lead me (God knows the way.)
Incline my heart (to truth, not my selfish gain
Turn (my eyes to life God gives)
Confirm (Your word as truth in my life.)
Turn away (my reproach for your rules are good)
Revive (Give me life thorough Your righteousness)
"Verbs of Veracity that give Victory!" I choose to try for victory once again with truth from scripture leading the way. I'll keep you posted on the outcome. Win or lose, I know God has life lessons for me in the challenge.
