THE WORD – Do we ever pause in our daily conversations to think about the words we speak?
Not only the words we speak to others but…when we are “talking to ourselves.”
I’m sure I’m not the only one who does this.
Lately I’ve been noticing how many times I utter these words, “I am so tired.” And different variations along that theme.
The speed of life continues to accelerate and we manage to plow through but I imagine many of us are using this phrase on a constant basis. Convincing ourselves how exhausted we are. Bringing more weariness and a defeatist attitude.
Let’s change it up! Every time this phrase or a similar one starts to form, try a different slant.
- I am so blessed.
- God, I am thankful.
- I am pressing on!
- I can do all things through Christ!
Imagine what a difference this will make in our attitudes.
Do you have a repetitive phrase you fall back on?
Will you join me in using positive words?
“Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart, be acceptable in thy sight, O Lord…”
Wonderful wisdom! I tend to complain about “dreading” things and that doesn’t help things go better at all. I’m gonna take your advice.Thanks, my friend!

Connie,
I think we fall into these habits, and don’t even realize what we’re saying all the time. I started hearing myself way too many times, complaining about being tired. I was making myself exhausted just thinking about it! Hope we both get this down so we’re in great shape for the conference : )

Take Two!
I loved this – -wise words from my friend!
I have some little ‘go to’ negative phrases and mutterings of complaint that I plan to eliminate. 🙂
