One’s attitude is probably the most important thing that we
as human beings have to deal with. Just
walking into a shop or any venue you can pick up on the people’s
attitudes. As you start talking to
people you will find that they either have a good and happy attitude or a
really heartbroken, self-pity attitude.
Most people struggle with the negative side of their
attitudes and it takes hard work to being one’s attitude under control. I for one struggle with fault-find,
grumbling, complaining, nagging and stuff like that. I have to check myself for not going down
that road. Once the door is open I just
bulldozer forward and become a real wrecking ball.
Thinking about my problem I believe the only way forward for
me is to realise who I am in Jesus Christ.
I should start making a point of not finding fault with everything that
irritates me. I should pay attention to
what I say and do. I feel that I should
start mediating more on the Word of God and take my focus off what is taking
place around me.
I have so much baggage that needs to be cut off and thrown away,
that I wander when I will do this and start stretching myself forward and grabbing
onto the Lord Jesus.
As I face tomorrow I want to remind you and me that ‘I can
do all things through Christ who strengthens me.’
Father God humbly I pray for a new lease on life, give me
the discipline to work hard and get to where You want me to be. Lord as I face my problems with my own
attitude I pray for a guard over my mouth, sealing my ears to gossip and
breaking the bad attitudes that I carry around within me. Help me Lord to lighten up and to start
enjoying life and making the best of every situation I find myself in. Lord thank You for hearing my prayers and
thank Your for being there for me.
Amen
