INSPIRASUNS

Sometimes when life brings things our way it’s easy to be overwhelmed, and it’s easy to doubt what you can do. I think that is satans little way of getting into our thoughts. Whenever possible he will put those doubts squarely where they hit us in the face. He wants nothing more than for us to doubt ourselves, and our abilities, more importantly, he wants us to doubt our relationship with Father.

I tend to feel this way as we get closer to this big meeting I’m overseeing next week. The thoughts of “I’m so far behind”, “there’s no way I’m going to get it done”, “It’s not going to be as good as it was last year”, all of the crazy thoughts start filling my brain. The anxiety builds, and the stress level ticks up and before you know it you’re a walking mess. Ya, that would be satan poking at me and the more stressed the happier he becomes. I think we all have times like this when we feel like we don’t have what it takes to accomplish whatever we’re trying to do.

That’s when we need to stop and say, “Not today satan”, back in your dirty, smelly, dark hole. Stop and knock him back down and ask Father to build us back up, to take that anxiety and doubt away. When He does, the path gets so much clearer.

I’ve found myself turning to this song at times when I feel like I don’t have what it takes. When I feel like I’m not good enough or not strong enough to get it done, this tune just changes my whole perspective. Oh, and the catchy toe-tapping beat doesn’t hurt either. I find myself putting it on repeat so it plays a couple of times. It truly puts me back on track and re-centers me.

I’ve included it in a previous little blog, but hey different time, different situation, and there just might be someone out there like me who needs it today. It’s a song by my favorite Christian group, Mercy Me, and yep it’s called Say I Won’t. Go ahead, give it a listen, and remember, with Father, we can do anything 🙂 .

Have an awesome Saturday my friends!

Ephesians 6:10
Finally, be strong in the Lord and in the strength of his might.
