Thinking out of the box.

Hello dear friends.

Well it's another new day. and with it brings a new day.
Full of good things.

I want to encourage you today, about our mind set.
Because it is so important, to keep a good healthy mind set.

We need to fill our minds with good things, because they will go into the soul.

There's a lot of stuff out there, at the moment and not of it is all true.

The only thing that is true and we can fully rely on is the word of God.

I am learning this, and learning to let go, and also learning that not all things, are all about me.

I need to take a step back, and let Jesus move more in my life.

This does not mean going religious cause I am over that, but building up in Jesus.
Because if we just go around not knowing in our minds, we are swayed by that news story, and the one that just came out 10 minutes ago.

We don't know ourselves.
 This isn't to make you condemned, or make you feel bad we need the strength of Jesus.

We often struggle with the truth, and what is the truth?
Of ourselves what are we to do?

We often have these issues come up, where we struggle in ourselves. and that is ok.

I had a hospital appointment, the other day, when we talked our my current medication. and what to do next.
Stay on the current one, or switch to a medication, that has good and bad things about it. Like all medication.

And if I go off the medication, will I always be mentally ill?

I might be, and that is what I have to come to grips with.

My life is happy, regardless, I am happy with my lot, even if I am up against somethings that are out of my control.

We need to think outside the box sometimes, and beat this thing.

That means, making the time to not just be living in a perficontist world. where everything has to be right, that there's no room for mistakes.

To be postivie in everything we do, because we can over come it.

We can over come our stuff we face, rather being labeled by things,  saying this is who we are, and that's our lot.

You might ask, what am I doing to over come this?

Well keeping a healthy mind, eating right is a way to bless the body.

Looking after yourself and watch out for triggers, that your mind will go back to. because it is a powerful thing.

Knowing how powerful? we can over come it.

Seeing yourself, as a success in everything, and that your the head and not the tail.

That people, don't need to know everything. and guard your heart, in everything you do. Don't allow yourself, to just open the gate for everyone.

Be on your guard, there are wolves in sheep clothing.

And let yourself, learn.

And don't give up, giving up allows everyone in.

And trust your friends, they will speak into your life. Possibly more so than family.

Watch out for warning signs, if you're not coping or spinning out like a washing machine on spin cycle, there's something wrong.

Go for a walk, ring a friend to talk things through, if you're struggling talk to your support person.

And be careful, about advice, people might mean well, but just pray, the lord will give you the way.

Be dead to the past, actively close the door to it. and DO NOT BE REMINDED OF IT.


Say this prayer.

Dear Lord,
I give you my life, I actively hand over my life to you.
Teach me your ways, and your love so that I can love others.
Teach me to forgive others, so I can let go and hold on to your forgiveness.
Lord I close the door to the past, I don't live there anymore, I am not that person anymore.
Lord will you help me live my life as you call me to live?
Free me of the things I can not change, I give you my life so I can change the way I think, act and talk.
Give me the power, to learn, to be wise,  and to just hold back on somethings, rather than spend my time worrying, because that achieves nothing.
It does not add a single minute to my day.
Lord I give you this thing I am struggling with,  ( Name it here) and I hand it over to you.
Be it sickness, be it health, be it trust.
Lord will you have these things, that come into my mind. Will you help me let them go and let you in.
In Jesus name
Amen.
