God is in Control

We all have times when we wake up in the morning and feel the blahs and blues; we don't feel very excited for the new day in our life but see discouragement.

But just because we feel those emotions doesn't mean we have to stay there and give in to them; we can shake it off and move forward in faith relying on God's strength.
Sometimes the best thing we can do is talk to ourselves and speak scripture over our lives.


I love the way how King David talked to himself. He said in Psalm 42:11,
"Why are you downcast, O my soul? Why so disturbed within me? Put your hope in God, for I will yet praise him, my Savior and my God."
We very well know that being in a sour mood because of our problems doesn't make it better, instead makes it worse!! It puts more pressure!! It makes us more miserable!
Oh yeah! we can rule over your emotions and choose to be in a good mood in spite of how we feel.
The Choice is ours!! To be happy or sad! To enjoy life or brood over it!
I've chosen this approach...to say...
1. God, I'm turning this situation over to You. I'm not going to let it steal my joy. I know You're in control.
"Nothing in all creation is hidden from God's sight. Everything is uncovered and laid bare before the eyes of him to whom we must give account." Hebrews 4:13
2. And at the right time, I believe You'll not only turn it around, but You'll bring me out better off than I was before.
"Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up. "Galatians 6:9
3. I Do not want to live by how I feel. But start living by what you know. I know you are there in my future already!
"Your Father knows what you need before you ask him. "Matthew 6:8
4. I know that You've got a great plan for my life.
"For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future." Jeremiah 29:11
5. I know your power is greater than any other power.
"being strengthened with all power according to his glorious might so that you may have great endurance and patience, and joyfully giving thanks to the Father, who has qualified you to share in the inheritance of the saints in the kingdom of light. "Colossians 1:11-12
6. I do not want to give into my emotions.
"For his anger lasts only a moment, but his favor lasts a lifetime; weeping may remain for a night, but rejoicing comes in the morning." Psalm 30:5
7. I choose to live each day in your peace by committing everything to you.
"Commit to the LORD whatever you do, and your plans will succeed. "Proverbs 16:3
8. I am going to have a great day.
"This is the day the LORD has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it." Psalm 118:24

All we need to know is God is in Control no matter what!!
Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice!
Thank You Lord!
