Thank you, Jesus, this is such a wonderful Morning. Friends, I just want to give some insight into this blessed morning. I mentioned earlier in my statement that this was a wonderful morning. Many of you would probably believe I said that because I might be feeling good this morning or grateful that God has extended me the gift of life again, which is all true and good. Yes, that is true, but it's about observing life from a different perspective.
This morning feels especially remarkable because I have decided it is a beautiful day regardless of what happens today. Friends, we need to understand that if we rely on our feelings to determine the quality of our days, we may miss out on incredible opportunities and joy. Our feelings can be deceiving and lead us astray.
I encourage you to ask God this morning to help you let go of all negative emotions that conflict with the beauty of this day that He has blessed us with. Seek His guidance in aligning your thoughts to appreciate and embrace this day, no matter what challenges you may be facing. The truth is that there will always be difficulties in life. So, when negative thoughts arise and try to dictate your mood, remind yourself to choose positivity instead.
Do something different today. Take a walk on the beach this morning and begin to pray silently as you walk. Thank God for helping you renew your mind and maintain soundness of thought. Instead of focusing on your problems, which He is already aware of, say to God, "Please grant me stability in my mind to focus on You." Remind Him of His Word, which says, "Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace whose mind is stayed upon Thee."
If you can't get to a beach, drive somewhere you have never been. While driving, set aside your issues for a moment. Begin praying, either internally or aloud, for others who may be going through similar challenges. Pray intensely for these people as you would pray for yourself, asking God to provide solutions. Yes, I know this sounds crazy, but indulge me for a moment.
If you face marital or financial challenges, I encourage you to ask God to heal someone else's marriage or finances. Perhaps you are unemployed as well. This morning, I strongly urge you to talk to God and pour out your heart to Him. Make a concentrated effort to pray for someone in a similar situation. I cannot emphasize enough that you must be determined to change to see change! Remember, what you sow, you will definitely reap. What you make happen for others, God will surely make it happen for you.
As you prepare for work or whatever you have planned for this morning, make a firm decision to expect an encounter with God via your commitment to pray for others. Even if those around you maintain their usual ways, determine that YOU WILL BE DIFFERENT, starting with changing your thought process by being selfless instead of selfish.
Let the following statements be your mental blueprint of your expectations. I AM DIFFERENT. I AM A WINNER, AND THE SOLUTIONS TO MY PROBLEMS ARE QUICKLY APPROACHING ME. I HAVE MORE THAN ENOUGH. MY SITUATION IS NOT AS BIG AS IT SEEMS. NOT ONLY WILL I OVERCOME, BUT IN MY OVERCOMING, I WILL LEARN HOW TO INSTRUCT OTHERS ON HOW TO OVERCOME, IN JESUS' MIGHTY NAME.……………. You have a blessed day.
Thank you, Father, for those who have chosen to receive your inspired words of encouragement this morning. I pray that today, the spirits of negativity, selfishness, pride, arrogance, and any other negative influences causing these readers to neglect you will be removed permanently in Jesus' name. I also pray for a renewed mind filled with positive thoughts that lead to a positive outlook on life despite the negativity around them. Your Word teaches us to give thanks in all circumstances. Therefore, I thank you for restoring marriages, improving financial situations, and overcoming any challenges they may face. Most importantly, I pray that those reading this believe your Word and stand on the business of scripture as you manifest your promises in their lives, in the name of Jesus Christ!
