What does Grace plus Mercy equal

Today, I had a bit of a self revelation. I have been blessed so much by God, and I have not been doing my end of the bargain. I have been taking and taking and not giving anything to Christ. Well that ends. I have been examine where in my life, I can do better in being the Lord’s face on earth. I can always tithe more. Well, I mean I should begin to tithe. I can also be more diligent in reading the word. I feel good about this. I really need this because in this world today, I just worry. I worry of course about COVID but I also worry about others. I worry about my family, friends, and just life in general. It’s to the point that I just start making up problems. Need to focus my thoughts and energy on what matters.

Another day of waking up at 4:00 am – Anxious

Life has been good considering all the Pandemic stuff that surrounds us and I thank you for that Lord. I find myself thinking more and more of problems and uncertainty as oppose to keeping my eyes on the Grace of God. I’m not sure why this is the case. I know I am blessed and I know that I am loved. My mind just always goes to thinking to everything I dont have and everything that is wrong. Even when there is no problem, my mind always plays this “what if” game.

Lord, I ask for Grace. I ask that you help me keep my eyes focused on you. May I not focus on what I dont have, and focus on what I do have. I have you and that is everything I need. I pray for the grace of realizing that I am blessed and chosen. I pray that I fill my mind with you. My mind always defaults to the worst case scenario and when that happens situations play in my mind that are just out there. I remind myself that you sit on the throne. Forgive me for my sins. I love you, Lord, In Jesus Name, Amen.

What you said vs. what i heard

I really needed this reminder. My mind is playing tricks on me. No need to analyze everything that is said.

No one can change your thoughts but you

Yes, we can be influenced and “talked into doing something” by people, events, society, circumstance, etc. but ultimately the decision is yours and yours alone. FREE WILL. What you ultimately decide to do is up to you. We need to take more personal accountability in our actions.
