God Is Always Surrounding You
I used to think I couldn’t be happy.
A future full of self-worth, joy and peace was just not possible for me.
My mind was consumed with negativity and untruths that I believed for so many years…I was hopeLESS.
But, I didn’t know what I didn’t know.
I didn’t know the way I was feeling was caused by my thoughts.
I didn’t know my anxiety, overwhelm and depression was brought on by the conditioned beliefs that consumed my mind on the daily.
Are you guided by your feelings and emotions or am I the only one who gives in to the feeling of satisfaction when eating that cookie dough in the fridge that’s supposed to be for the weekend family cookout?? Lol
( But it tastes so good!!!! )
The truth is, when we live by our feelings, we are not guided by the relationship we have with God. We are not guided by the goals and outcomes we have set for ourselves.
That’s why you think you can’t do it…you’ve failed so many times before by giving into the feeling.
Then, the thought of WANTING TO turns into the thought of I HAVE TO, so you think you can’t change it.
Even worse than that, you start believing the lie that God is not listening to you anymore. He is not helping you because you’ve done something wrong since you can’t feel His presence in your life.
THIS IS SO NOT TRUE. God is always surrounding you.
His spirit is always there. He is omnipresent which means He is everywhere at all times.
It’s just so hard for us to feel God when we are consumed by this crazy, destructive world. It’s not my fault and it isn’t your fault either.
We just learned what we were taught by our circumstances.
We learned what were taught by people (loving or not) who did not have the scientific evidence to back up the fact that we can “be transformed by renewing our mind” (Romans 12:2).
And the consequences of being guided by the world is why it is so important for us to be guided by The Word.
He has equipped us to work through the hard and push through life’s trials and tribulations.
He has equipped YOU to change the thought patterns that are keeping you stuck.
When you live in His presence, you don’t have to have all the answers. you can have a discerning spirit about what is wise, true and pleasing.
I know what you’re thinking:
- God won’t speak to me the way He does others.
- I pray and pray and pray and I don’t feel better.
- I read my bible all the time and nothing changes.
- I have been to counseling and it never helped.
“So, why am I not feeling guided by God?”
Living in this world full of negativity and untruths makes it very difficult but not impossible.
You just haven’t been taught to undo your beliefs and the conditioned thoughts that are in your mind.
The constant “what ifs”, “I shouldn’t haves”, and the “I can’ts” that consume your mind keep your brain from believing God’s truth about who you really are.
God will always show you the path to take. He will always light the way but you have to be open to changing your mind so you can let the truth marinate.
So is your truth (the thoughts you are telling yourself), aligning with what God says is true about you?
I know for me, my thoughts were negative, destructive, and self-consuming.
My thoughts were not reflective of what God wanted me to think.
…what God wanted me to believe about myself so I could live a hopeful, abundant life.
When the spirit of truth fills your mind, God will guide you and give you discernment of what is right and wrong, good and bad.
To know God’s plan and purpose we must do what Romans 12: 2 tells us. Renew our mind and stop conforming to what the world does and says is true, then we will know what God’s good, pleasing and perfect will is for our lives.
You already have what you need.
You were born with the ability to change your mind to relearn who God created you to be.
God knows what.
God knows who.
God knows when.
God knows how.
Think about it…you are sitting wherever you are in the world, right now, reading this encouraging message from ME TO YOU.
God knows what you need when you need it most!
