Don't let others dictate your mood!

  

 Good evening all, I hope your Friday has been a great one and that your weekend will be filled with only good things! Today has been a better day for me, even though the pain is still significant, it is nothing as it was yesterday! I am so ready for solid food, todays fare of cream of wheat and mashed potatoes has not been satisfying at all!
     Have you ever had a day that you seem to really allow people to get to you? Today has been one for me, I know things have been said to me with good intention, well at least I hope they have, but maybe in my pain med state I have taken things in the wrong way! I have had to stop several day to collect myself for fear if I didn't I would say things that I would regret later. I tend to try to carry the weight of the world on my shoulders and I get really angry when I feel like I am being manipulated! I think this is a woe that many of us carry, we allow people to get under our skin and we allow people to dictate the way our day will go, the mood that we will portray...etc. Today has been a day such as this for me! We have control over ourselves, we choose to allow things like this to happen, we must stand strong in our convictions and make choices as to how we will allow people to treat us! Tonight I am going to rest in the knowledge that I was able to avert any one that may have been a catalyst in ruining my day by standing strong and holding fast to what I wanted this day to be like, it was a tough feat for me, but YEAH ME, I accomplised it! I pray that if you have fallen into the trap of allowing other to dictate your mood and spirits that you will take a stand and you will only allow things that are good for your psyche.
      I would ask that you join me in prayer this evening, so many are in a low place, so many are feeling alone, lost, scared, and as if God has backed away from them, please pray for hope, pray for release and pray for something or someone to make a difference in their lives. I ask that you join me in praying for those who have fallen victim to illness and disease, for those who have lost virtually everything and are starting over, for those suffering displacement, for those suffering marriage problems for those suffering financial problems. Each and every one of us are in need of prayer for some reason or another and I know if we stand as warriors in God's army we can make a difference. Give of yourself, let others know your relationship with God, let them know that you love him, that you have faith and that you are there to fight satan with them. Let your love flow, allow them to feel his love through you! God bless each of you with hope, faith, love, understanding, calm, comfort and peace. In Jesus name, amen.
     I love them that love me; and those that seek me early shall find me. ~Proverbs 8:17
