Don't Fail the Test!

Your problem IS the lesson!


 Take a step back and look at your problem again.
1. What went wrong?
How and when did this problem begin?  Do you remember how you felt at that time? Were there any warnings?  What happened?

 2. What is your part in all of it?
What is your part in all of this?  What did you do or what didn't you do?  What did you tolerate?  What did you cooperate with?

 3. What should you do differently next time?
How else could you have handled this issue?  What should you have done that you can do better the next time, if there's a next time? How did you do this time that you should not have done?

 4. How do you avoid this problem from now on?
If it's possible to avoid this problem, what must you do to avoid it from now on?  How do you separate yourself from this issue?

 5. What did you learn?
What's the lesson from all of this?  What did you learn that you didn't understand before?  

God has given you grace to see, experience and make it through the issue that you have faced.  It is time to bless Him by showing that you've learned your lesson.  Walk with your head held high knowing that you've learned and that you don't have to go back to the place where you've come from.  You can stop the behaviors that brought you to that place.  You can overcome the circumstances that caused the issue to occur.  You are walking in newness.  Celebrate how good God has been to you!

Strengthen Me!

Psalm 119:28 28  My soul is weary with sorrow; strengthen me according to your word. There will be days when we feel beat up.  There are days when the weight of the world is on our shoulders. It is in those hard times that we must tell God our truth.  We must confess how we really feel. Lord, I'm hurt.  Lord, I'm tired.  Lord, I don't think I can handle this anymore. When we pour out our heart to God, we are giving Him access to comfort and strengthen us.  His Word says, that He will NEVER leave us nor forsake us.  His Word says, He uplifts us with His right hand.  His Word says, I have loved you with an everlasting love.  His Word says, cast all of your cares on Me. I pray that as you go through this weekend that the Word of God strengthens you for whatever and everything that you are facing.

Be Free From Denial!

Have you ever experienced that feeling when you finally get something off of your chest?  You feel free, it's as a though a weight has been lifted up and off of you.  The same feeling can be experienced when we admit how we really feel.  Maybe you've been sad, angry, frustrated, depressed or otherwise. God wants us to come to Him, tell Him how we feel and give these feelings to Him.  The Bible instructs us to cast our cares onto Him.  We are supposed to throw these issues off of ourselves and allow God to care for us. Don't live in denial.  Stop walking around pretending that everything is all right!  Shake yourself free from pain and anguish!  Live and Be Free from DENIAL! via  Daily Prompt: Denial

Tip of the Day!

PRAY! "In Thessalonians 5:17, we are reminded to "Pray without ceasing".  As you are walking to a coworker's office, holding on the phone, waiting for a meeting to start, or doing a simple task, lift you company and coworkers up to the LORD." Daily Wisdom for the Workplace by Pamela McQuade. Whether you are at work, at home, at school, church, a relatives house, or wherever, we must remember to pray.  Depression creeps in when we lose our line of communication with God.  It is vital to keep that relationship in its proper place, 1st and foremost.  It is very important that we talk with God and listen to Him too.  God bless you.
