Sometimes we are falling short in our prayer life, feeling out of place and uncertain of what to say, not uplifted in the prayer chamber because we have not been speaking to ourselves. Everyone talks to himself, if the words are not of faith they’re of doubt. Words can be filled with happiness and encouragement or unhappiness and discouragement. How do we talk to ourselves? The conversation, the ideas that pass between the “faith you” and the "feeling you” are important. Which one out-talks the other. Do you turn your troubles over and over in your mind, dragging up all the slights both large and small that have ever come your way? If so, you are sinking your own boat. Rid ourselves of weighs that sink, cast down and cause depression, let’s not keep them on our minds nor open the door for them. The statement ” you don’t know what a hard time i have” is the biggest stone of all, it will take us right to muddy bottom.
No one has it easy in these days. Learn to enjoy the little things in life and to discount your troubles. Do not keep suffering over things for which Christ has already paid. What He has paid for; we are free to use.
