Some days it is easy to have a good attitude and a thankful heart. These are the days that I feel like I am walking like I should, as a child of God. Other days will test us. We often like to blame the enemy for our attitude, when it is just our flesh rising up. Situations will cause us to forget who we are and who’s we are; we belong to Jesus.  We have been bought with a high price. We need to walk out our faith.

Sometimes the noise in our head is louder than a Nascar race. It is hard to silence your thoughts and fears. I often refer to 2 TIM1:7  For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.

Fear, anxiety, mental stress and depression can cause us to be frustrated. We end up with an attitude that needs adjusting. It is hard to be a light when you are walking in frustration.

When I find myself in this place of total frustration, I do a few things. If I am at the office, I tell them I am going for a stress walk, then I walk out a prayer for God to adjust my attitude. (I physically walk it out) I repeat to myself  2 Timothy 1:7, then I tell myself he has not given me fear, frustration, anxiety and stress. He has given me a sound mind. The other thing I do I listen to worship music and try to adjust my thinking.

Having God’s peace means the noise becomes quiet and the frustration melts away.  God wants us to walk in peace.  It is possible if we remind ourselves that we have a sound mind and do not walk in fear. One of the biggest tools the enemy uses against us is trying to convince us that we do not have a sound mind. If he can get us to walk in fear, he will control us. We can not be a good light if we are under his control.

Jesus gave us power over the enemy, fear will not reign in our lives if we study the word and pray for God’s peace. My friends, I pray for the peace of God to reign in your hearts and minds.

BE BOLD, BE BRAVE AND KEEP YOUR GOD FOCUS
