Each day I awake I ponder and pray on so many things. I'm learning not to always pray for my situation or a particular situation to change or dissolve. I'm concentrating more on praying to God to allow Me to change so that I can be in any situation and handle it God minded, not man minded ( or woman!).
Each day as I grow and walk with God I realize that I must die to self, in the mind over and over again.
I constantly renew my spirit, thus allow the worldly mind to die in order to rebirth myself in God's name.
But because of his great love for us, God who is rich in mercy, made us alive with Christ even when we were dead in transgressions-it is by grace you have been saved. And God raised us up with Christ and seated us with him in the heavenly realms in Christ, Jesus. Ephesians 2:4-7
To die to self is to humble myself, to admit my wrong thinking and wrong actions, to myself and to God. I must remember how to live according to God's word not how I think things should work. So I will continue to study the Word, meditate on the Word and on positive things. I will continue to be satisfied with the way things are and with where I am in life. I will continue to forgive and let go and most of all show mercy that is most always shown to me. I will continue to learn to walk in God's living light, for Him and for me.
I will remember that I am here to experience and to learn to grow in character, and that dose not always equal comfort. But, I will persevere because I can. I am given nothing I can't handle. Believing is seeing, and to that I will walk my walk in faith.
