This week I had a moment of reflection.

I realized when I doubt myself, I lose power over my true happiness that only comes from within.

It was my first butt naked truth moment about my life in awhile.

I was selfishly living and selfishly praying about many things in life and instead of giving me peace, it was creating a war with myself. That war with myself lead to war with the people that matter to me most. I was feeling unhappiness creeping up on me. I didn’t want to return to that.

I could have decided to curse or give silent treatment to the person(s) I was quarreling with at the time but instead I went to seek God and Thank God for what we have rather than complain about what we don’t have.

I couldn’t make my jealously  of not having enough from person or thing to get the best of me. So I prayed.

God has a will and I can’t get angry with God because God’s will doesn’t correlate with my will.

It was the first time in awhile I knew that when we are at war with ourselves, we are at war with each other.  Peace comes within and God allows us to find that inner through by following God’s will.

Satan needs a foothold in our lives to use to fight against God. We give the devil  that foothold. The way to resist the devil is to submit to God.

So, I’m submitting to God to  find peace and joy.
