Title: Are you up to a Challenge??
Post by: joyce robson on June 14, 2012, 12:59:28 PM
I read this in my daily reading and I decided I will give it a go

Thought you would be interested ; so I decided to post...

I want to challenge you--this week, when something threatens to steal your contentment, choose to draw from God; decide to stop drawing from other sources and trying to be in control.

When you find yourself becoming flustered, anxious, or angry, stop and say, "Lord, You are my source, and I draw from You the capacity to be kind.

I draw from You the forgiveness I need to extend right now.

I draw from You the love I need to express."

This decision is a matter of simple trust.

Watch and see how God will quiet your spirit and provide confidence when you draw only from Him as your source.

You'll be surprised at your own attitude: when you respond from within--rather than from the flesh--Jesus will give you the ability to respond as He would.
