You can’t force anyone to value, respect, understand, or support you, but you CAN choose to spend your time around people who do! Think how much better you’ll feel if you surround yourself with people who will lift you up and push you forward.

The devil wants you to worry about your future so you can’t enjoy your life right now. Remember that he is a liar! Enjoy every minute of your life because it’s a gift from God…and because it makes the devil mad!

What you think about is what you are giving power to! Negative thoughts keep you bound in the past, in fear, in worry and doubt. Positive thoughts push you into a powerful future.

Trying to make sense of other people’s actions will mentally drain you. Trying to understand why they hurt you only brings sleepless nights. Pray for them and move on.

Read God’s Word. The only thing that can keep you stable and settled in these days of uncertainty is the absolute dependability of His Word. Don’t know where to start? Try Psalms, Proverbs, John, Ephesians or James. What’s YOUR favorite book of the Bible?

Some things don’t need prayer, they need discipline. It’s easier to say I’ll pray about it than to discipline yourself to do what God wants you to do. The bottom line is this: If God already told you what to do, you just need to do it.
