Whenever you are having a hard time collecting your thoughts, use that time to recall all. David, My psalmist, went through extremely difficult times. His life was one of fight or flight. Yet, he was able to get through these times with My strength because He knew the secret to recalling all the times I had helped him through difficult times. As he reflected on the times that I had given him victory in various trials, his heart was encouraged. He knew the secret to encouraging himself in Me.
Never rehearse the hard times and never rehearse the hurts. You will be brought low when you do this. Instead recall all that I have done for you over the years. See My hand helping you and holding you through the hard times. I have been present throughout your life. I remember the day you took your first breath and the joy I experienced then. I will be with you on the day your take your last breath. On that day you will know and see how I have held you close to Me through the years.
Fight negative thoughts. Do not dwell on them. Whatever is lovely, pure, virtuous, uplifiting and worthy of praise, think on these things. When you can give Me thanks for everything and in everthing, the enemy will have no success with you.
PHILIPPIANS 4:8
