I have never been able to solve any problems by just sitting around complaining about life. I was never able to change my finances by complaining about not having enough money. I was never able to change into a better person by complaining. Even as I faced roadblocks, complaining didn’t remove them. Complaining became my dead end. It made me a dependent, relying on other people’s hard work and effort. Complaining kept me in shackles, it limited my growth, and it gave God little room to improve my life. But as I learned to take accountability for my actions, and as I begin to discipline myself, I develop patience and started to show a lot of restraint towards complaining. My negative conversations turned into positive confessions. I begin to pray often and trust God more. When I realize in order to be better, I had to do better, and In order to succeed in life, I had to prepare for life. I turned my complaints into actions, and I altered my behavior which helped me to see that I was my biggest enemy. Yes, I failed along the way. Yes, I often reverted back to my old ways of complaining when it seem like things was getting tough, but I persevered, I stood up to me and silenced myself, and with God’s help, the complaints stop and my growth increased as each day I labor in God’s word to be a better me.

It takes a lot of effort to empower yourself and to stay focus throughout each day, but the biggest resistance you will ever face trying to stay focus is from your own mind. Yes, your mind is often your biggest challenge. If you can conquer your mindset, it will empower your thinking in ways that doesn’t distract you or hinder your focus, and with a focused mind you will surely experience a lot more peaceful days. Oftentimes we take our mind for granted, awakening each day without any thoughts of nurturing our thoughts, but wnen we begin to meditate on Gods words, it prepares us for the unexpected, it connects us to a greater source that guides us throughout each day. Yes, it takes a lot of effort to empower your mind, but the outcome in doing so is very rewarding.

Heavenly Father, I am strong today because I keep Your words close in my heart. I am focused today because I keep my mind focused on those things that are above. My strength is in You, Father God. You are my rock, shield, and guidance through a world that has gotten out of control. I do not live in fear, and nor do I live without discipline. 2 Timothy 1:7 says, “For God gave us a spirit not of fear but of power and love and self-control.” Therefore, it is my prayer, Father God, that I continue to live out of the obedience of your words so that my life is always disciplined and pleasing to You. In Jesus' name, I pray Amen

Heavenly Father, there is no greater time now than to grow closer to You, to be watchful, to stay alert, and to seek guidance and wisdom through Your words. Help me to discipline my thoughts, to keep my mind on the spirit, because 8:5-6 says, “to set the mind on the Spirit is life and peace.” For it is Your peace that sustains me; it is Your peace that positioned me to hear You, Father God, above everything around me. 26:3 says, “You keep him in perfect peace whose mind is stayed on you, because he trusts in you.” I know, Father, that Your Peace surpasses all understanding, and it will guard my heart and mind in Christ Jesus. In Jesus name, I pray, Amen.
