Do you ever wake up, and just feel like you are set up to fail? Wake up thinking about what you tried to forget when you went to bed last night? Feeling negative and out of control? Unwanted?
More often than not, I think we give in to the negative thinking that presses down on our hearts. In this me-centered world, we are easily swayed to focus heavily on our own circumstances that often we can't even change. And it's a comfortable place to be lost in our negativity.
If you haven't already figured it out, this is how I felt this morning. I'm still in the process being restored to healthy, positive thinking in my mind, but with more prayer, quiet time, and one-on-one time with Christ, I think I'll get there.
Today I meditate on this: “Restore to me the joy of Your salvation and uphold me with a willing spirit.” Psalm 51:12
