Question the Thought, Choose the Truth

We don’t have to have conversations with the enemy. We can walk away and run to the Lord when he spews his lies. I get in trouble when I sit down with him and allow him to tell me everything that could go wrong in my life. His fabricated stories evoke more of the things that I don’t want in my life.

The longer I listen, the more I start to believe him, which is when I get into trouble. We can’t hold the truth and the lie simultaneously. They contradict each other and confuse us. Therefore, we have to choose what and who we want to believe.

Just because we think something doesn’t make it accurate. Sweet friends, we have to learn to question our thoughts and see who they align with. Examining my thoughts is like bringing them out of the darkness and into the light. Then, I can ask God to show me the truth of it all.

Satan likes to overwhelm me and bombard me with it all. That’s when my thoughts start looping, my anxiety and fear increase, and my urge to follow him increases. When this starts happening, the best thing I can do is to slow it down. I can do this with journaling and prayer.

God gave us all the tools we need to follow Him, defeat the enemy, and live our best lives. For me, it is just a matter of using what He gave me. So often, I take what seems to be the easier choice at the moment but the one that causes me considerable pain later on. But I don’t want to live that way any longer.

My heart desires to follow the Lord and do His precious work. I am so thankful for another day and opportunity to work with Him. This morning, as I was journaling, tears gathered in my eyes as I thanked Him for not giving up on me.

Sweet friends, I fail my Lord so much, but oh, how He loves us. Regardless of where I find myself, He is always there with outstretched hands, waiting for me to return to Him.
