God is so good and has been so gracious and kind to me with all that He's given me lately. And not that it's surprising but even the tough things have already been proven to be blessing.
I'm trying really hard to look at everything with ^this^ in mind. But it's been tough to maintain a positive outlook without being fake-ly happy about things--especially in prayer. Prayers need to be honest; God already knows your heart but it's important for you to acknowledge your honest feelings so you are more able to see Him working on them. So, this is what I've been thinking about and the best "treatment" for me has been to start off with all of the good things I'm thankful for and then move on to the areas in which I'm struggling. This has helped enabled me to praise God for all things (good and bad)
Why, my soul, are you downcast?
Why so disturbed within me?
Put your hope in God,
for I will yet praise him,
my Savior and my God.
Psalm 42:5
see why this is the perfect verse for these thoughts?: honest and full of praise.
What I'm working on: humility
xo.
