If you have read my book, The 30-Second Prayer That Changes Everything, you already know that being intentional is key to achieving successful results.
You might begin each day with something like this--Father, I commit this day to You. Cause me to think the way You think--so that I will be in Your will and make right choices today.
Yesterday, I had a troubling thought show up on my radar. I recognized it as a reoccurring thought. In fact, it had surfaced several times over the past few months and was on the verge of become a "held-belief." I even spoke it out loud on a couple of occasions which gave this false imagination additional fuel.
This belief definitely did not bring me peace, but instead irritation, impatience and a simmering of resentment. That should have been a clue that something was wrong right there.
Usually when I realize something isn't right, I begin thinking of the opposite. Most often, the opposite is a whole lot closer to the truth.Once I realized the truth, it made it easier to reject the lie--and of course determine to never speak of it again!
I am so thankful that God is willing to stick with us on a daily basis and point out those things that do not agree with His will. Only then can make the necessary adjustments to be established in His peace and move forward successfully.
Just another day in the life of partnering with God--to bring Him glory!

Because of God's tender mercy, the morning light
is about to break upon us--to give light to those who
sit in darkness and in the shadow of death,
and to guide us to the path of peace.
Luke 1:78-79 NLT
