Attitude Adjustment

As I sit here reading all of these blogs about sick children, I feel sooo incredibly blessed that Grace is a healthy baby. Today she has been quite fussy because she is teething like mad. It hasn't been the easiest day for sure, but reading these blogs makes me realize that things could be so much worse! God has blessed me with so many things, but it is easy to get stuck on the hard times. My husband and I are going through some financial difficulty, but again I have to remember that things could be much worse. I know God is our provider and will keep my family safe, however I find myself constantly falling prey to Satan's trap...filling me with doubt and fear. I'm so tired of getting caught up in a fearful attitude. It is the beginning of a horrible cycle. I start to doubt and fear (forgetting God's promises to me as a child of God), then I start to feel sorry for myself (pity party for ONE please), and then the guilt comes flooding in. How can I proclaim to have such a good relationship with our Savior, yet have all this anxiety about the welfare of my family?



I need to remember that God is in control and He will provide, prosper and care for my family. I don't need to be fearful of anything or anyone. He has never let me go hungry, homeless, or without clothes. I may not have everything I want, but I have everything I need. I must stay in an attitude of remembering all that God has done in my life and everything He has blessed me with! Our Father didn't promise that I wouldn't go through trials, however He did promise that I will never be alone when I go through them. His love NEVER fails and I am never too far away from His grasp. So, today I am going to adjust my fearful attitude and REMEMBER all that God has done and will do in my life. All of our problems are in His hand and He will work everything together for my good. This spirit of fear, doubt and anxiety must flee!! There is no room for it in my life. My God reigns and rules in my heart and in my household. Thank you God for reminding me of Your promises and I will continue to lay my fears at Your feet and be renewed with Your joy and comfort daily!
