How to Move Through Suffering and Come Back Stronger Day 3


Psalm 19:4 - May these words of my mouth and this meditation of my heart be pleasing in your sight, LORD, my Rock and my Redeemer.

I reckon this is applicable to to a more personal Christianity that people won't see, my thoughts and emotions. My dumbass paranoia is always questioning others intentions or judging their character. Lustful thoughts linger randomly. Above all else I'm reminiscing on unhelpful things that seem to stunt my faith in not just God but in others. Something I'm tying to do is to instead of just blatantly trying to ignore it as if it doesn't exist (which never works) Imma attempt to reflect on Jesus and his accomplishments in my life. Since I know He is greater than my shortcomings I think it would make sense that this way of thinking would help out if done correctly. Just like how I must compromise/cut out my sinfulness, I must also stop lingering in the painful past. These sacrifices can be costly but absolutely necessary.

Galatians 2:20 - I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I now live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me.

Prayer/response:
- Lord, you do whatever needs to be done to make me reliant on you
- Throw away my victimhood and accept my God given responsibility to glorify you and make Him known
- Those in Cape Town will know you more deeply as well as our Vision Team.
- Thank you that you're greater than my depravity
