Dear God please help me. Please intercede on my behalf. Please let me have some peace and happiness in my life. It has been so long since I have smiled and shared a laugh with anyone. Please let there be a positive outcome with my interaction with the person at the gym. Please let me hear back from them soon. Thank you for all the blessings in my life. Please forgive me. Please keep me in your prayers. I am thankful and grateful. May God bless you all. Amen.
I was outside about a couple of months ago and these thoughts were going through my mind (and I was letting them) and then I heard the Lord say, are you going to allow that nonsense? It's your decision to let them build a story or cast them down and take up truth and speak to yourself in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs making melody in your heart to the Lord. As a child of God, the Prince of Peace lives in you by His Spirit. The kingdom of God is righteousness, and peace, and joy in the Holy Spirit.
I encourage you to cast those thoughts down that tell you that you are unlovely, or not worthy, or whatever they are, and begin to take up the word of God that says, you are beloved, and chosen, and the joy of the Lord is your strength.
The word of God says that we need to cast down imaginations and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God and to bring every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ. This mean, when a thought comes in that does not line up with the word of God, we are commanded to bring those thoughts into captivity and we do that by thinking on things that are true, and honest, and just, and pure, and lovely and praiseworthy. If there be any virtue, (excellence) if there be any praise, to think on these things. Start of by thanking the Lord for saving you, Thank you Father for loving me and in your love, you wooed me, called me and drew me out of many waters, by Your Spirit, you said 'come' and I said, I come, Lord. Thank you for calling me out of darkness and into your marvelous light. I'm not gonna troubleshoot or faultfind, I'm loved by You! You call me holy, unblameable, unreprovable in your sight...you want me to be led forth with peace, to know the joy of my salvation. Thank you. I choose to love me too, cause you said, I am to love you and love my neighbors as I love myself. So I take hold of your love, and ask you to reveal to me in greater measure this love so I can love myself and be comfortable with myself without having a need to have someone special in my life to make me feel 'special.' Life flows from you, Lord, thank you for life. In Jesus name. Amen.
