ANXIETY ISSUE

-
If you are someone who struggles with anxiety I have a few tips that might help you. When you wake up in the morning do not think about anything you have to do today, anything you should do today or anything at all beyond the very moment you are in. The closest thing to the moment is your breathing. Pay attention to your breathing and the rise and fall of your belly as it breathes. Put your hands on your belly and feel your breathing. Also it helps to remember that the Lord is inside of your every breath. If you have to go to work you don't have to think about it yet. You are not there yet. You just have to get up and get ready. Don't put your mind on anything except where you are right at this very second. Thinking about anything beyond this very moment is as taking a big spoonful of poison, because that is what it is to you. God gives us grace for the moment and His presence is in this moment. It is a much better place to reside than to be thinking of where you are going today or tomorrow because you are not there yet. If we can practice staying in the moment in our breathing and not let our heads run away with us, we can get a much better hold on our day and not let anxiety get the better of us.

GUILT

I think guilt is one of the biggest hindrances in the Christian life. It has been for me and I see it trip up so many others also.

I had so many inner struggles. A prophetic man spoke into my life at that time and said he saw walls between God and me. The problem was that the walls were of my own making. It was not God. I didn’t know at that time in my life about how our thinking can put those walls up. I also didn’t know there was such a thing as false guilt. How could there be false guilt? That sounds crazy! Who would knowingly put guilt on themselves? It is false because we keep ourselves in bondage over things that God has long since forgiven and forgotten. It might even be something that we don’t even need to be forgiven for. Maybe we just think we do! It is our thinking about it that keeps the wall up. Decla...

PROBLEMS OVER AND OVER

-
Does it ever seem like you go through the same painful scenario over and over? The person or situation might look different every time, but it is really the same. That has been my experience for a long time. I didn't understand it. I wouldn't believe it was happening! Why didn't the Lord just get rid of this and heal all my past pain? Why was I continually in these painful, upsetting situations? There was more than one incident this week that finally opened things up for me. There is a little Colette inside of me. She went through a lot of painful stuff, but because she couldn't deal with all the pain since she was only a little girl, she got frozen. The pain was there but she couldn't feel it because little Colette got numb! Adult Colette looks at poor insecure little Colette and she could have pity for little Colette, she could feel sorry for little Colette, but adult Colette wanted nothing to do with that little insecure Colette. Adult Colette had disowned her! ...
