Our circumstances and emotions change like shifting sand. If our happiness is based on our surroundings and circumstances, sure we'll have a 'woe is me' attitude. We will feel like we are on a roller coaster ride, and we will be left with an empty heart.
Confidence isn't something we lose. It's something we forget to apply. Confidence comes from God.
The first step toward applying confidence to any situation is to trust God to handle it.
Never pray for an easier life - pray to be a stronger person! Never pray for tasks equal to your power - pray for power equal to your tasks.
The road to greater things is not marked by easy answers. We must remember that Christ will not lead us to greatness through an easy or self-indulgent life. An easy life does not lift us up but only takes us down. Heaven is always above us, and we must continually be looking toward it.
Satan loves when we feel inadequate and insecure. He’s good at getting us to believe we’re not good enough and don’t have what it takes to be used by God. But we don’t have to let him trash us the way he does – and we definitely don’t need to keep agreeing with his lies and trashing ourselves and each other. In this broken world, we have come to expect rudeness and are shocked at kindness. That is backwards thinking. We all go through hard times, but a lot of us let our trials make us bitter instead of better. We need to stop sitting around feeling sorry for ourselves as if we are the only ones hurting. Be an imitator of Christ in what seems like a Godless place. Change is only going to happen if there is change. But remember, change takes time. It is not magically built. We are to do this one brick at a time. Some days we lay more bricks than others, but our goal should be to make sure that we are working to build, not tear down. So make a decision today to go out and fight the good fight! Make a difference in the world....Tick Satan off!!!
Blessings,
Dalinda
