I need to take captive the thoughts of wanting to be in control. I feel so out of control right now, in trusting God fully, that its hurtful. Between submitting to authority at my job (which is not a norm for me, I usually love to play "the boss", to not knowing whats going to happen with my roommate situation, leaving a relationship and trusting if its God it will come back together, I am just all over the place emotionally. I said I was going to trust God but this is work. I feel so dependent on Him because I refuse to make things happen. I just want Him to do whatever He is going to do. So for me, I have to combat the thought that God is not paying attention. in moments I feel he does not hear my cry…and sees me, but I know thats a lie. I have to combat the thought of being embarrased. That is the biggest thing I always feel and leads me to act prematurely, bc of my pride. So trusting that God has my best interest at heart, He knows what Hes doing, and He will always make me look strong in my weakness.
I have had to learn to take my thoughts captive these past few months. I can be at work or home or wherever and some harmful,negative or strange thought will come to my mind to take my joy away and when that thought hits me I can become depressed,hurt or sometimes angry for no reason at all! The devil is so crafty and he knows that his time is short and he is doing everything that he can do to destroy. I am on to you devil! I can defeat you with the armor of God Almighty! I choose to think on those thoughts that are pure,just,lovely,virtuous ,of good report and worthy of praise. Anything that is not I block it out and take that thought captive! The battlefield is in the mind! You can have victory over your thoughts!
Verse 12 of Corinthians spoke to me: measuring themselves with themselves, comparing themselves with themselves. Um, yea, all the time. Time to quit that. Thank you SRT. I am loving it here.
Sorry I am behind. Missed the first three days but will try and catch up! I am grateful God gave us His Word to renew our mind.
