Good Day. Bad Day.
Why the up and down?
Recently, I’ve been asking God to restore my confidence and to fill me up so that I can face the day. But I also have this underlying expectation that if I ask him or pray to him for this that my day will be 100% good with no negative feelings. So when I start feeling jealous. Or I get offended by something that shouldn’t matter. Or some kinda of unwholesome feeling or emotion, I wonder, “Why am I feeling this way? Why isn’t my confidence in the Lord? Why am I so sensitive?”
What I’ve come to realize is that just because we ask God to guide us through the day it does not mean the day will be a good day free of negative emotions and burdens. Trials will come, but it is about:
1. Whether we choose to give it up the Lord through continual confession and…
2. How we approach the situation.
So claim the authority and power of the name of Jesus, the double-edged sword and say that, “I will overcome” and “These emotions, feelings have NO authority over my life.” Claim it in faith, because part of Christianity is faith. Have faith, my friends, that these emotions are only temporary and will soon fade away like Heaven and Earth, and look towards the future prize, Heaven ON Earth—God reclaiming his kingdom.
That’s all for now!
