“Even the best of men, are men at best.”-Author Unknown
All the characters in the Bible sinned, got discouraged, frustrated, doubted, lost hope, and felt like they weren’t good enough. How do I know? Cause they are all human. What made them different? A continual pursuit of God. A continual renewing of the mind, and continually persevering.
Satan is the author of lies.. and he is at war in each of our minds. The battle IS your mind.We can either succumb to the lies of being not good enough, not loved, not the person for the job, or not smart enough and let Satan derail us from our purpose. Or, we can believe God at this word.
God has called you to a mission and perseverance is a must. Whispers of fear and discouragement are the easiest ways for Satan to win the battle.
The moment YOU decide to believe God over your mind is when you embark on a your calling with the Lord. Believe God for who he is, and what he has done. Take truth at face value and address your fears, and God will be glorified.
So needed this. My mind has been going absolutely crazy. My youngest daughter now in her 2nd yr of college is really giving us a go. It is the company she is keeping these days and her whole demeanor has changed that she swore she would never be around or become, has come to light. My husband and I can’t talk to her anymore without her quickky going off on us and getting highly defensive. She was always our more reasonable of our two daughters but with this group she has been hanging around for a year now has her really changing and not for the better. We pray, we try to be careful of how we give advice to help guide her in the right direction, and love on her. With all of this the devil has really gotten a hold of my mind. So much I have had sleepless nights. All that I think and what I really want to say to her is not good. I have not and want because I know it would make matters worse. It is all becoming too much. I am so very disappointed in her and her actions. So much that I don’t want to be around my daughter. I am thankful she is still in school and still working her job but I can’t get past those she is now hanging around. It’s been very frustrating. Sorry I rambled on. This segment made perfect sense to me and glad I read it. Thank you.
Thanks I really needed this today! I have suffered with all these feelings for years and even though I know what the word says I still am hunted by them please pray my strength in the Lord.
I totally relate! The mind is a constant battle for me! thank you so much for reading and I will be prayinG!
