One day when he was 14 years old, Ben Carson, had a quarrel with another boy. Blinded by fury Ben lifted a knife and struck the boy in the belly. Fortunately, the boy was wearing a large metal belt buckle which stopped the knife from penetrating. However, the force of the strike was such that it broke the knife into two.

In there, he realized that his dream to become a doctor would never be realized because his temper which could land him in jail. At that point he fell on his knees and cried out to God to help him change. He then brought a Bible and started reading it and listened as God spoke to him through the Scriptures. Ben ended up spending three hours in the bathroom reading and praying until he felt God begin a change in his heart. From that day forward, the outburst of anger ended in his life. And decades later, Dr. Ben Carson would become well known as a compassionate Christian leader who exhibits calmness and sobriety.

The truth is that you can overcome the things trying to hold you back and move into the fullness of God’s plan for you.
