As the New Year begins, we need to strive to stop letting our thoughts control us. They are just feelings, momentary bursts of emotions. They can often pound us down, like huge crashing waves, leaving us gasping for air, paddling to reach the surface..
Waves of emotions hit us each day~happy, sad, frustrated, angry, hurt, annoyed, scared, worried....they are never ending.
Have you ever stopped to ask yourself, "Who's in control of my life?"
Imagine a day that you were able to actually stop and rationalize the situation you're going through without following your feelings.
This year take a stand...
Stop letting your thoughts interfere with your faith.
As your emotions begin to overwhelm you...STOP....PRAY...ask the Lord to fill your heart and mind with His peace.
An anxious heart weighs a man down, but a kind word cheers him up.
Proverbs 12:25
I took you from the ends of the earth, from its farthest corners I called you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.
Isaiah 41:9-10
Very worthy reading your post. Don't you know Lisa that : "Only a few people LIVE as the most of them they just EXIST"... Hugs
