I feel like giving up sometimes. I get beat down by other people and I have circumstances that just don’t seem to be improving. I have to deal with the bumps and tumbles that come from my own poor judgment.
I used to take days to get over others condemnations. I used to wallow in my own self-pity. I used to stay angry and hurt for hours and even days.
And I still deal with all those crazy, false and harmful thoughts….only now I have quite a few good habits to change that wicked mindset and only spend minutes, sometimes only seconds, wasting time and thoughts on what’s not going well.
My most used good habit is to surround myself with praise and worship songs about who God is and what I have through the loving power of Jesus. There are many Christian songs about vision and living the life you were meant to. I have a few for you here, but I encourage you to seek and find more for yourself.
Remember, ask and you will receive, seek and you will find, knock and the door will be opened. All with the help of the wonderful counsellor!
