Our outward behavior is only a result of our inner life states Joyce Meyer in her book Battlefield of the Mind. It's so true. When I'm feeling down, my thoughts are down too. Then, my actions are also not the nicest.
You cannot have a positive life and a negative mind. This can be a tough endeavor at first but realize how vital it is to your well-being and your relationships. One way to begin this process is by "asking God for a lot of help." One of our weapons for this internal warfare is prayer. Nate and I have been arguing a lot lately. Just getting on each other's nerves. We are in the process of moving. His contract for work is up for renewal. I've put in my two weeks at work and am switching jobs. So, a lot is going on. I hate the fighting though. For me, internally, I'm stressed, nervous, apprehensive about all of these life changing events. I think it's coming out into my external world as Joyce explains. I will pray for help as she suggests because I do not want to continue this way even if it is only temporary. I want to be able to still be loving in any situation regardless of what I'm going through.
Dear God,
I haven't been the nicest person to Nate or even my family. I am under a lot of uncertainty with everything going on but I do know that you are certain in my life. I will trust that you have everything under control. Could you please help me and remind me to be loving when I forget? Thank you.
