He is right by my side

I was reminded of something at church ...which i easily forget because i get caught up in the every day routines of life....the LORD is with me. He stands by my side so i'm never alone. His Spirit lives within me so I never have to deal with anything on my own.

I forget this when i'm drowning in something or i'm tired or i feel defeated in a certain area in my life...or when the same problems come around again and i haven't dealt with them still.

I can't overcome these things but He can. I may have never won a battle in a certain area, but nothing can stand against Him. And when those same problems come back to haunt me - i can hide in the LORD who is haunted by nothing.

It starts with just speaking the words to myself. Because it's me who needs to change and my mind that needs to be transformed.

I am not defeated and so I should never speak words like 'i can't do this' 'im too tired to try' or 'is this ever going to change?'. At least not without adding God to the picture....'i can't do this BUT GOD CAN'....THINGS WILL CHANGE BECAUSE THE LORD IS HERE RIGHT NOW AND HE'S NEVER GOING TO LEAVE ME NOR FORSAKE ME!!
