... "Don't gaze at your problems while you only glance at the Lord.Get life in focus!Gaze at the Lord - Behold Himand all your problems won't cause you to grow weary and loose heart."~ Joni Eareckson Tada ~"Seeking God"
I wonder Lord, am I living positively for You or for me? Am I living internationally according to Your plan or with purpose and intention with all You have given me? I choose to have a positive attitude. I will be refreshed in simplicity and humble means. I want to speak words of wisdom and find good in every circumstance. Will You help me? I am waiting with HOPE! I'm refusing misery... misery loves company, but I want no part of it instead I will rejoice, looking for laughter and JOY around every corner as I seek positive solutions.
I am changing my focus! I will focus my faith on Your promises in Your Word, as I seek You, I will behold and reflect more fully Your image daily. I will gaze long into Your face, and not even glance at my problems. I will get my life in focus as I behold and fix my gaze on You. And in doing this, I will not grow weary or loose heart, because Your Word promises me Your power and strength and love!Thank You for helping me to live more positively and be more intentional in what I do and say, think and feel, live and learn from You through Your Word !
