Don't give up...discouragement is a liar! It wants to talk you out of the good plans
God has for you by creating "what ifs" in your mind, the undesired
situations-the things you can't control. Anxious thoughts get up with
you in the morning-taking shape & form inside your mind-before you
know it, you've already lived weeks in a bad situation & you're still
standing at your kitchen counter drinking a cup of coffee. Entertaining
the potential "what ifs" deafens your ability to hear the Holy
Spirit-He's trying to give you direction & comfort, but you can't hear
Him for the blaring noise of "what ifs." Immediately stop these
thoughts with God's truths-renew your mind with His Word...God's peace
guards my mind & heart, He has good plans for me, I can do all things
through Christ Who strengthens me, I am complete in Christ, where the
Spirit of the Lord is-there is freedom. These aren't just words-they are
God's Words; His promises stand forever & they are power!
Don't give up, renew your mind...God's got good plans for you! (Gal
6:9, Phil 4:7, Jer 29:11, Col 2:10, 2 Cor 3:17, Isa 40:8)

Shining God's truth across the world (Mt 5:16). When we lay down who we think we should be...we make room to become who God says we can be-His masterpiece to do the good works He planned long ago (Eph 2:10).
