New Day, New Start

 

    We live in a society where self talk is going to determine how your day and life will be.  One of the sayings is a new day, new start, or a new day is a fresh start to do it better.  It is true that we need to have positive self talk to keep negativity out.  How we talk to ourselves does matter.  However, there are so many factors out of our hand that it is not the answer to everything.

    You get to choose how you react to how others speak to you, view you, or has influence over you.  People will say hurtful or inconsiderate things in your life.  Hand that irritation or pain over to God.  He can and will heal your soul wounds if you let Him.  He will heal you physically, emotional, and mentally too.  You just have to face it.  Each morning you can start fresh mentally and emotionally if you dealt with your baggage the day before.

    God is worthy of being praised because of the small gifts that He gives us to survive and thrive in this world.  We have the tool.  We just need to utilize them.  Praise should come from the heart, not guilt or feeling like you will be punished if you don't go through the motions.  Praise God for what He has brought you out of.

    God is the source of mercy.  You may be fighting a battle today, but it won't last forever.  He is the only one that can take that pain, fear, and fatigue and turn it to joy.  Look forward to the morning, so that you don't crawl out of bed to just get through the day.  Get excited about living.  Don't hide.

Psalm 30
