Reset

I always remember that the Lord is with me.[a]He is here, close by my side,so nothing can defeat me. Psalm 16:8(ERV)

This past Sunday at  church one of our minsters  said something  that  really    brought  something  to my  attention about myself .  To  paraphrase  He  said   "You are  so worried about  what's  going wrong in the world/life that  you're disregarded  all the good that God is still doing in the earth right now".

Wow.

Prior to  hearing this I really hadn't thought about it that way but it's true; My thoughts about myself , my life and the future have become really negative.  If I'm honest  I've been bracing myself, expecting the  worst and becoming  fearful about   the future. 

This is  not the way I want to lead my life!  Fear  is something that  shuts out hope, puts your life in chains and keeps you stagnant.  I don't want to be  a  victim to my own  negative   thinking   when I know in my heart that God is  with me  and with Him nothing can defeat me.

I read a  quote  one time  that  said  " You don't have to   believe everything  you think". This means that I am in control of what I digest, I don't have to accept any of the enemies lies or allow my mind to be his playing field. 

It's time to Reset...

God is  present,  He is aware of  where I am, my pain and the things that  I am afraid of  He covers me through it all.     God will never  take His hand off of my life He   loves me  too much .  God has  a purpose for my life I know it!  So  I cannot afford to be  consumed by anything other than Him because I have work to do; My  purpose is  calling and I must move forward.

If you're going through something similar and find yourself battling with negative thoughts.  REST! God  is  with you and He  loves you more than you could ever imagine.   Give every thought , fear and  burden to  Him and trust that   he   has you in the palm of His hand .

Love,
