Some days are harder than others to get out of my feelings. On random occasions all I seem to be able to focus is the doom and gloom. Instead of seeking comfort in God, I seem to find comfort in my "woe is me" attitude.
On days like that I really have to stop and do an attitude check. I've come to realize that I'm focusing all of my energy on worrying and trying to make a way on my own terms to solve my problems, instead of spending time in prayer asking for understanding and wisdom to effectively deal with the situation at hand. I've come to understand that during the times when I'm feeling overwhelmed by life, I need to be intentional about how I react in that moment. God is able to take care of every situation that I will encounter but He needs me to stop relying on my own strength and to really just lay my burdens before Him and allow Him to take the wheel. I can't continue to carry my burdens because they are like heavy weights that keep me from being able to see the light at the end of the tunnel.
Truly trusting and relying on God in the good and especially the difficult times takes a genuine surrender of your heart. The best decision you could ever make is to trust and believe that the will of God is perfect and that even in the midst of the troubling times God is right there with you.
