I detest the idea that God has to do something good for me in order for me to be able to praise Him and love Him.
I gave Him praises yesterday and someone said, “What did He do now?”
Why do we need a reason to praise God? The answer: we don’t. God is worthy of our praises literally every moment of every day. I could be drowning in sorrows and I would still be singing His praises. I’ve done that before and I’ll continue to do so. God owes us nothing, yet He gives us everything. How much more worthy of our praises could He be?
You are loved and cherished by God. He knows your pain and understands it. He wants to heal you and bring you peace. He will not leave your side, no matter what you are going through. You will forever be loved and cherished by God.
sometimes it just hurts and there is nothing you can do about it
1. It’s important to remember that you’re not alone. There are SO MANY OTHERS who feel the same way, too.
2. Remember it’s a pattern and you often feel this way. You know your inner critic always seeks to bring you down!
3. Remind yourself you’re trying to make progress and to change. Your heart is in the right place – so be patient with yourself.
4. Forgive yourself for failing or for saying something stupid. Cut yourself some slack, forget it, let it go, and start again.
5. Try to spend time with people who accept you as you are, and who sees your strengths and good points, your potential, and true worth.
6. Don’t think about your failures. They are firmly in the past. Visualise yourself being someone that you’re proud of, and you like!
7. Be kind, and understanding and gentle with yourself. You’ll find you feel much better if you don’t demand so much.
‘Where the hell did you come from? Where the hell have you been?’
