Things you would never dream of happening, happens both good and bad. How we react to these happenings makes all the difference in the world.

What is happening right now that you are thankful for and maybe even blown away by? Pause and give thanks.

Remember our help comes from the Lord! And every good and perfect gift is from Him. He is the one who causes us to triumph. So I rejoice with you right now and I’m thankful for all the good that is happening for you.

What is happening that feels more like a nightmare than even a bad dream? Pause and ask God what He is going to do about it and what He would have you do about it.

I had a situation recently that I was worried about. Literally it was eating away at me. I kept hearing that Frozen girl singing in my head… “Let it go! Let it go!” and eventually that’s exactly what I did. I had to make the decision to stop dwelling on something that I cannot change. And really do what I tell everyone else to do… Trust in the Lord. Psalm 40:4

Says that happy people trust in the Lord. Every time I became consumed with this situation it zapped my joy. I was presented with a choice just like you are right now. Keep thinking about it, worrying about it, and making the situation worse or let it go and trust that God will work it out for good. As I write this it seems so easy and like duh?!

When we are able to do this it enables us to engage with our purpose, build our futures, and enjoy the people around us who need our attention. I commit to pray for you to be able to do this and you pray for me, please. This isn’t a “one and done thing” but something that can only become second nature as we renew our minds with the Word of God and make a decision to trust Him with the “shockers” of life. Let’s commit to each other to catch ourselves as we begin to respond to things to see if we are responding by faith or in fear. We will be a whole lot happier as we respond in faith trusting God! We can do this!!!

Happy Monday!
