I have spent all week consciously feeding my soul as I realised something again, I am the master of my thought. No one is coming to save me. The human part of me wants those around me to temporarily carry me emotionally. Is that practical? Most likely not.
Everyone is busy, and short of me not being manically depressed…..I figure no one wants to keep asking me how I am. But I do need it from time to time.
What have I done? I have consciously gone back to reading my Bible 1st before checking messages on waking up, actively listening to praise and worship, reading a bible plan on gratitude, and finally consciously trying to change my sleep patterns. It’s been 7 weeks, so it will take time to break the pattern. Today is day 5 of mission sleep all night. I pray for success by day 14 max.
Today’s Bible plan journalling prompts:
- What people in your life make you smile? My daughter. I am always reminded she is a very precious gift from God. The years of anguish faded in the instance of her arrival.
- Who made you laugh this week? YA did. She was hilarious that I had forgotten for a bit. Thank you for using humor to snap me out of a funk. She actually threatened body harm if I didn’t get up and go and shower.
- What is the best thing about today? Last day in London this week. Whoop whoop
- What scripture is speaking to you today? For God has not given me a spirit of fear but a sound mind
- What is your favorite thing that happened in the last 24 hours? I experienced a sense of peace I haven’t felt in weeks.
Day by day, we add to our mental resilience muscle.
