We must always be looking for new avenues to glorify God. Don't lie dormant, unwilling to try new adventures. You may miss the golden opportunity that God has for you. When I achieve something I have been striving for, I feel a sense of fulfillment.
We all must make choices. Far too often, we make the wrong choices and end up with pain and disappointment. We must take full responsibility for our actions.
When things don't turn out like we think they should, it is easy to feel like a failure. Unless we have our mind upon Christ, we may become depressed or have feelings of guilt and low self-esteem.
As a woman, it is so important that you feel good about the role you are in at this time. If not, it will affect every area of your life.
Far too often, we aren't happy just being who we are. This can cause our whole mental attitude to be affected. No matter what your situation, there is a solution.
Psalm 37:4, 5 tells us to delight in Him and He will give you the desires of your heart.
First of all, it tells us to delight in Him. This means to do what will please Him. He wants to give us our desires. Yet, how can we know what we want, if we can't distinguish between yesterday and tomorrow?
Verse 5 tells us to commit everything to Him. Let go, and let He who knows best work it all out.
Next, His Word tells us to trust in Him. He is able to do the work He wants to do in us. He will, and He can accomplish it in a far greater way, than we ever could!
