Under the lights for the first time, Jimmie Johnson crossed the finish line as the winner of the Southern 500 at Darlington Raceway Sunday. Since ten of his friends were killed in a Hendricks Motorsports plane crash a few weeks ago, Jimmie has been on a mission to win the NEXTEL Cup Championship.

Johnson dominated most of the 26-race regular season, winning easily at more than one track. But, when the final 10-race for the championship began, he found himself falling to ninth place after the first four races. Mistakes and mechanical failures cost them big time in the Chase for the Cup.

Now with four victories in the last five races, he once again is in top contention for the championship. Never one to give up, his crew chief Chad Knaus knows Jimmie is a championship driver. He, also, realizes that if the #48 Lowe's team does their part in Sunday's finale at Homestead-Miami Speedway, they can bring that trophy home to Hendrick Motorsports.

Maybe you have come upon a tough time in your life. Are you seeing failures around you daily or weekly? Does life just seem to be one big mistake?

Don't give in or give up!

You can become adequate once more as you begin to carry out your responsibilities with God's help. Claim the special power and strength He promises to give us. Our natural talents and abilities can only carry us so far. But, because of your trust in God through Jesus Christ, success can once again be the norm for you.

Jimmie Johnson says these wins have been a healing time for him and the whole Hendrick Motorsports team. Bring God back into your life and healing will begin for you. Just as wins are good medicine for the Lowe's team, Jesus can be your great Physician and you will find yourself a winner again.
