Awakened/Aroused
I must remember the struggle is not against flesh and blood.
It's being able to conquer the negative thoughts my mind floods.
No more "ifs" I could of would of or should of;
It's continuously doing the right works/right things then realizing my problems can and will be resolved.
It's letting go of habitual sins.
Saying "NO" to doubts, insecurities and that habit that comes around again and again. I refuse to wear the chains of this stronghold. Brick by brick the fortress that surrounds my brain will come down.
Awakened/Aroused
I must demonstrate a shift, a change in the attitude of my mind.
Not being so self centered
but making space for the presence of a higher power while living one day at a time.
I must stay in the present, yes, the here and now; one day at a time.
Letting go of the "what if's":
not allowing projected fears to enter my mind.
I can and will redefine myself, putting God/my higher power first then everything else.
Aroused/Awakened
What better timing to turn my fear into faith.
Believing God's timing is perfect: not only will He teach; He'll also lead the way.
I'll not lose faith in the face of trials and tribulations: especially when the days becomes difficult, long and hard.
That's when I'll turn within trust and focus on the words of God.
I'll be that army of one who truly believes,
That healing will be continuous and I'll remain free of my disease.
I will not allow occurrences of my past, to dictate whether I'll have a future that's meaningful and meant to last. I'll not allow inertia to be the sword of my demise. Instead I'll rejuvenate regain my strength. Then get back on the path and go the length. My past is now history.
No longer will I continue to make nor replay the tape. Which leaves me drowning in pity feeling emotionally raped. Lesson learned. Poor choices were made essentially I need not replay. The consequences of loss,pain, hurt and at times being spiritually and emotionally disconnected. I'll not forget the price. That's a bill I'll always continue to pay.
Aroused/Awakened
I will now see through my own eyes. Trying to imagine how God sees me. No longer will I dress in low self esteem. For I realize things aren't always as they seem. Expressions of nonsequential perceptions will no longer dictate my level of self confidence. I'll let go of popular opinions which seems to cause internal conflict. So instead my focus will be spirit and I coexist.
I will surrender total control: with the awareness of I was never in control. Though my circumstance is challenging, and the adversary will attempt to test my faith. I will fight and not waver in faith. I'll stand strong and be courageous, toe to toe with the adversary. I will show perseverance in doing what's right.
No longer will I allow my circumstances to label me as victim. I'll lean on the cross which stands firmly against my adversaries with the assurance of victory.
Yes, I am aroused! I am Awakened!
So many times I ask myself what should I do when I don't know what to do? My answer now is, I will do something! When my thoughts begin with what if, I should of/would of or if only. I will know that I am harboring gilt, regrets and worries which are not my truths.
It's by His grace that I'm awakened and blessed to have a new beginning.
Aroused!
