I struggle alot with this..
I am constantly questioning ..
~ Am I too hard on my kids..
~ Should I homeschool them..
~ Why can't I keep my house clean..
~ Am I loving my husband enough..
~ Am I joyful..
~ What do people think of me and how I raise my kids..
My list could go on and on...
I feel like I am questioning everything in my life and so it makes it hard to do anything well..
I feel like CHRIST is saying .. "KEEP your FOCUS on ME"
I can not be confident in anything but HIM.. He has NEVER failed me..
When I am questioning everything, it takes my focus off HIM and places it on me and what I am trying to do
I pray that as these questions pop in my head .. I would seek Christ for TRUTH and who I am in HIM!
I need to be sincere and confident in being his wife and the mother of our children.. I need to be an example to my family of how to keep my focus on CHRIST
“If God is for us, who can ever be against us? "
(Romans 8:31, NLT)
(Romans 8:31, NLT)
"Set your minds on things that are above, not on things that are on earth." Colossians 3:2
" Those who live according to the flesh have their minds set on what the flesh desires; but those who live in accordance with the Spirit have their minds set on what the Spirit desires." Romans 8:5
Love it. Even though we know all these things, it's so easy to "slip away" from them and doubt creep in. Romans 8:31 is my favorite verse of all my life. It plays a huge roll with my anxiety issues. I love love love that pic. Beautiful beautiful family. I love you! Never doubt! You are doing an amazing job!!!
ReplyDeleteI love this! It's me! I have been reading, "Desperate: Hope for the Mom who needs to breathe" and it is really helping me with my struggles. I love the short youtube videos that go along with it.
ReplyDeleteYou hit it on the head! I know when I start beating myself up with all those questions I have lost my focus on Christ. Another favorite..."Be still and know..." I think that's been my mantra lately.
