Hello Friends!
Let me give you a little update on what's been going on over here. I have actually felt a little down the last several days. I have been reading my truth statements, I have been expressing gratitude and looking for God's hand in my life. So, I wondered, why have I been feeling down?
I've pondered about it and had a couple of thoughts why I might be feeling a little down. One thought is because of what I learned about one of my children...that brought feelings up of being an inadequate mother. I didn't recognize that I was having that thought go through my mind until yesterday. And then after going to the funeral a few days ago it reiterated those thoughts. I think the adversary is trying hard to work on me right now.
If you have feelings of being down or feel like this is too hard to do, please be aware of where those thoughts and feelings are coming from. Don't dwell on them. I am turning to God and asking for His help in knowing what I can say or do to counter those lies.
Maybe I need to up my game with expressing gratitude to others. That always lifts my soul as I think of how others have blessed my life. This one lie "I am not an adequate mother" has a lot of power over me right now. So, I think it would be beneficial to combat that lie by repeating hourly the truth statement in order to get it planted in my heart.
My truth statement to combat this lie is, "I have good, kind children. I am really blessed with such loving kids. I learn a lot from them. God accepts my offering and He will make up the difference."
Sometimes I revise my truth statements when I don't like the wording or it needs something else. Do any of your truth statements need to be revised?
How are you doing with your gratitude? Are you still using truth statements in your day? Do you have down days? What do you do when you have down days?
