"The Spirit of the Sovereign LORD is on me, because the LORD has anointed me to preach good news to the poor. He has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim freedom for the captives and release from darkness for the prisoners, to proclaim the year of the LORD's favor and the day of vengeance of our God, to comfort all who mourn, and provide for those who grieve in Zion — to bestow on them a crown of beauty instead of ashes, the oil of gladness instead of mourning, and a garment of praise instead of a spirit of despair."~from ISAIAH 61 Bible verse for this Blog

APOLOGY to READERS who followed a SEARCH to HERE & didn't find it

On July 18, 2017, I drafted almost 3000 blog posts that I had published since 2008 when I began blogging, rather than edit each one. So if you clicked here from somewhere else and ended up with the post unavailable or error, I am sorry but this is why. It'd be too much work for me to go back and fix them. There's an explanation on 7/19/17 as I'm still learning.

SOS

Study On SONday

WEEK TWO
with
P31 OBS
of
Jennifer Rothschild's book
"Me, Myself, and Lies"

"CHOOSING and SPEAKING TRUTH"


Proverbs 16:23 (NIV84) | "A wise man's heart guides his mouth, and his lips promote instruction." | Proverbs 31 Online Bible Studies | Week 2 Verse | #NoMoreLies #P31OBS
[image credit: P31]

"...  Jennifer gives us a battle plan to help shut the door to those negative thoughts:
The three R’s — Recognize, Refuse and Replace
I know I find it hard to Refuse the “lie.” That’s the one “R” I want to work on this week. What’s the most difficult “R” for you? What can you do to shut the door on your negative thoughts?"
- See more at: P31 OBS and Jennifer Rothschild's book, "Me, Myself and Lies"
I am only highlighting this so you can link up or follow along with
Proverbs 31 OBS
who already do an exceptionally wonderful weekly discussion
but there's quite often so many "comments"
it's hard for me to connect
but I love them, their choices for book studies and their team
No reason for me to reinvent what they do so well

however

you are certainly welcome to comment here rather or in addition to there
because I have so few comments, you're guaranteed that I won't miss it

I'll Repeat the questions (and that's not even one of the "R") here:
What’s the most difficult “R” for you? 
What can you do to shut the door on your negative thoughts?"

For me,
I'm sure I struggle with all 3 of the "R's"
but initially it has to be
"RECOGNIZE"

because often I don't realize that and recognize it as a lie
but receive the lie as truth
usually spoken by another but rehearsed and replayed
in my mind without recognizing it as a lie
or device of the enemy to mess me up
but I am getting better at discerning a lie spoken to me

and I guess
that if I knew the answer to the 2nd part of this ?
I would have written JR's book and not be struggling with this,
hoping I will learn from this book how to shut the door
especially when the negative thoughts are mine or 
spoken by me to others (but I sure hope not)

prepare your heart to pray as Daniel did?
