“It has been a growing habit over many years for people to sit around and talk about the problems in their lives. I’m not saying that we shouldn’t speak about them or get things off our chest but we do need to be careful that we don’t stay stuck in those problems. We must be mindful not to constantly focus on or talk about the difficulties we face. Amen.

For we are called to give all praise, glory, and honor to the Lord our God in all things. Amen. If we allow the problems of life to consume our thoughts and minds, then that is where we will remain. Darkness can begin to settle around us the doom and gloom of what has happened or is happening and it can take over our perspective of how we are viewing everything in our lives. And that is a deep and scary place to live. Amen!

Because when we speak more about our problems than about God and His blessings, we begin forgetting the good and mighty things that God has done and continues to do in our lives and each and every day. Hallelujah. So I encourage us to be careful not to weaken our faith in Christ and who He is. Because if we’re not careful, our faith can weaken, our mindset can shift, and we can become discouraged children of God. Amen.

So let’s be honest life is not fair. It never has been for any of us. We all have faced battles for some from childhood all the way through till adulthood and everything in between. Amen. Because we gotta remember that this world will not overtake us, because we have Jesus. So we must acknowledge Him daily as Lord and Savior over us and our lives in which we are living. Hallelujah!

And we have to learn to let things go and truly live in the moment we’ve been blessed with. Keeping our eyes and minds focused on our Father in heaven. For challenges will come sickness, financial struggles, broken things, unexpected hardships but how we respond is everything. For in those moments, we must remain in Christ. We must stay calm and remember who we are in Him. And we do this through our faith and through the words we speak.

For as it says in (James 3:11–13) both fresh water and salt water cannot come from the same spring? So we choose to have good conversations with wisdom, meekness and God’s goodness. Amen!

So I pray that we rise up with boldness through the Spirit of God within us. And that we stand against negativity and refuse to let it take root in our minds. As I like to say, “change the channel” or “turn on the light” in those dark situations.

For our lives are not defined by jobs, careers, or circumstances. Many people live in a constant state of complaint, and sadly, they remain there. But wherever we go, we take ourselves with us. We can’t escape the struggles of this world but we can choose how we respond to them.

So I pray that positivity flows through us, that we speak life over ourselves and others, and that we boldly share the gospel. For you never know what someone else is going through. For recently, I’ve heard of many devastating situations, and it has humbled me. For it reminds me to be grateful and not complain about minor issues when others are facing much greater battles yet still pushing forward each day for their families and responsibilities. Amen!

So may the Lord convict our hearts when we focus more on problems than on Him and His goodness. And let us walk in integrity before Him. Let our words be filled with praise, as (Psalm 149:6) says. Amen.

And let us guard our hearts, and our minds, and our speech, because what we say truly matters. For life and death are in the power of the tongue (Proverbs 18:21). So let us choose to produce good, wholesome fruit not rotten, harmful words. Amen.

For everything we do matters. So shine, share God’s love, and live with purpose. Laugh, live, and love. Be who God has called you to be wherever you go, and help others by choosing to declare and speak life. Amen!”

“For it is in His name, Jesus’ name, that I do ask and pray..Amen and Amen..Be blessed today my dear sweet friends and remember wherever you go and whatever you do, Be a light for our Father, Much love to you all, Mandi ❤️
