Trusting in God without a Worry

When you have expectations that you’re going to arrive at your Destination, and then arrive back home. Events that take to play, sometimes don’t go the way that we intended them to proceed. Expands the Power that God, can place in the Palm of his hands. “I trust in God” by Elevation Worship; gives a perspective within the Sound of Music. Ensuring that no matter what trial, or experience we Trust in God. Proverbs 3:5-6 “3) Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding. 4)in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight.” We have to be, “Radical.” Meaning ; all the way, complete, and total. Accepting in your Mind, your Heart, and your Body. When you Stop Fighting reality, Stop throwing Tantrums because reality is not the way you want it, and let go of Bitterness.

Let’s Break it Down:

1. Reality is as it is - The facts about the Past and the present are the facts, even if you don’t like them.
2. There are limitations on the future for everyone - but only realistic limitations need to be accepted.
3. Everything has a cause - including events and situations that cause you pain and suffering.
4. Life can be worth Living - even with Painful events in it.

Why Accept Reality?

1. Rejecting reality does not change reality.
2. Changing reality requires first accepting reality.
3. Plain can’t be avoided; it is nature’s way of signaling that something is wrong.
4. Rejecting reality turns pain into suffering.
5. Refusing to accept reality can keep you stuck in unhappiness, bitterness, anger, sadness, shame, or other painful emotions.
6. Acceptance may lead to sadness, but deep calmness usually follows.
7. The path out of hell is through misery. By refusing to accept the misery that is part of climbing out of hell, you fall back into hell.

Don’t know where to Start?

1. Observe that you are questioning or fighting reality (“It shouldn’t be this way”)
2. Remind yourself that the unpleasant reality is just as it is and cannot be changed. (“This is what happened”)
3. Remind yourself that there are causes for the reality. Acknowledge that some sort of history led up to this very moment. Consider how people’s lives have been shaped by a series of factors. Notice that given these causal factors and how history led up to this moment, this reality had to occur just this way (“This is how things happened”)
4. Practice accepting with the whole self (Mind, Body, and Spirit.) Be creative in finding ways to involve your whole self. Use accepting self-talk — but also consider using relaxation; mindfulness of your breath; half-smiling and willing hands while thinking about what feels unacceptable; prayer; going to a place that helps bring you acceptance; or imagery.
5. Practice opposite action. List all the behaviors you would do if you did accept the facts. Then act as if you have already accepted the facts. Engage in the behaviors that you would do if you really had accepted.
6. Cope ahead with events that seem unacceptable. Imagine (in your mind’s eye) believing what you don’t want or accept. Rehearse in your mind what you would do if you accepted what seems unacceptable.
7. Attend to body sensations as you think about what you need to accept.
8. Allow disappointment, sadness, or grief to arise within you.
9. Acknowledge that life can be worth living even when there is pain.
10. Do pros and cons if you find yourself resisting practicing acceptance.

Similar to having a Mini Monster that Includes:

1. Giving up; Manipulation; Envy; Mean; Greed; Addictions; Trauma; Abuse; Unhealthy Habits; Language; Self-Blame; Unforgivness; Insecurities; Belittle; or Imperfections; Action on Emotions/Impulse; Mindset; Com-placing; Obsession; Influence circles; Silence; Isolation; Content;

This is Daily Life - We have, so does everyone else. It’s not Our Job for them, we are responsible for Ourselves.

Radically Accept (Jesus) - with Our whole being; all the way.

We Bleed on People who never cut us, when we don’t Find a radical acceptance. Accept / Forgive create avenues where the Monster Starves. He gets smaller, and God gets Bigger. Baby steps into a Life of Recovery. Trust Jesus!

When looking at a Situation, think about the Break down of the Problem before an Escalation occurs. Trust that God will Guide and Protect you, refrain from Feeding into the Devil (The Monster.) All the Devil wants is to Steal, Unalive, and Destroy. His sole Purpose is to Obtain Power that he doesn’t have, while God is in Control and holds the Power over all. Let Jesus Steer, and take the wheel into the Path of Freedom. Seek and you will Find, Trust and Restoration will be Granted. He wouldn’t put you in a Situation, if he Knew you’d be delivered from it. Trust in him, lean NOT on your own understandings. God knows the plans he has for you, we have the Free will to Decide how rocky our road will be. Step out of Survival, and Embrace the Breakthrough filled with Peace and Love. Love conquers all, without Love we can’t maintain the Fruits of the Spirit. [ Galatians 5:22-23 “22) But the Fruit of the Spirit is Love, Joy, Peace, Forbearance, Kindness, Goodness, Faithfulness, 23) Gentleness and Self-control. Against such things there is no law.”

Daily Devotional | Trusting God with Every Breath | September 3 | “Being the Bigger Person”

”1 Peter 3:9 - Do not repay evil for evil or reviling for reviling, but on the contrary, bless, for to this you were called, that you may obtain a blessing.”

”Ugh. I don’t like being the bigger person. The one to apologize first. I don’t want to be the one who begins to make amends. To swallow my Pride, opening the Floodgates of Forgiveness. I’d rather have the other person go first. It makes me feel better. You? When my honest selfishness invokes horror upon reading what I wrote, I stop. I think about what God would want me to do. Our verse that I wrote, I stop. I think about what God would want me to do. Our verse today reminds us not to repay evil for evil so we can have our Blessing. I, for one, want a blessing. You? The other side of the coin is this: Whom do I want to please? God or Satan? I’m Guessing Satan is pretty darned to pleased when I stick my feet in the mud, determining to withhold forgiveness unless the other guilty party asks and pleads. I also know God is pleased when I make the first move. While it’s fun to feed my flesh, it, in turn, pleases Satan. Yuck. Double yuck.

I want to Please God. More than anything, I want to hive him my everything. That includes forgiving others first when they wrong me. It means being the bigger person. And what if they never apologize? I can move on because I don’t need it. All I need is God. I am responsible for me, and I can’t be responsible for others. I can’t let others; sins weigh me down anymore. First Peter reminds us we will be blessed when we repay evil with blessing. It’s time to make the switch and be the bigger person.

How can you be a Bigger Person Today?
