As you well know, life can get a bit crazy at times. It is easy to get distracted by that craziness and allow the stress and struggles to dominate your mind and heart.
Bible verses like Philippians 4:8 can help and even be encouraging. But let's face it, sometimes we need something to actually do to ward off the craziness.
Some things we can do are:
- pray
- call a Christian friend
- have fellowship with another trusted believer over coffee, tea, or lunch (make them pay :0D)
- sing hymns and praise choruses
- dance (hey, David did)
- look through old photo albums and remember some wonderful times of your life
I'm sure that if you thought about it, you could add a few things to my list. I mean, they just popped in my head as I thought about what to do during those moments when life isn't very fun.
Here's My Suggestion
Grab a writing tablet. Not an iPad or a laptop but rather an actual pen and paper writing tablet.
Write at the top:
My Blessings
Then start listing them one by one. What is so powerful about this is that as you think of one you will be reminded of another.
Write down every blessing.
Write, "I am blessed because ..."
Before long you will have written many blessings and your focus will shift from the craziness and challenges of life to the joys God has brought into your life.
You're welcome!
