Instead of focusing on the hurdles ahead , Focus on Him beside
us, Instead of depending on our plan for this week, depend on
His power for this moment. Instead of being tempted to give up,
or give into fear, give thanks — this gives Him glory.
Instead of trying to do it all Simply let Him be your all. Lord,
cause me to live an INSTEAD kind of life — because One loved me
enough to give Himself in my stead.

"The real you in Christ is not stressed. The real you in Christ
is peaceful and at rest. Stress is always an inside job. You
can't say, “Oh, she really makes me annoyed!” or "this really
makes me angry!" because the truth is, they don't. YOU chose to
be angry. You could have chosen anything else. You could have
chosen love, grace, mercy, joy, patience, peace, gentleness,
kindness. You could have chosen all of those things, but you
chose anger. Seriously? And now you are blaming them for a
choice that you made? That's not the way it works. We have to
take responsibility for our blessing."

SAINT'

Yes Helen, I like that. And taking it further we can decide not
to feel sorry for ourselves, or to dwell on negative thoughts;
we can choose to forgive ourselves as well as others. We CAN
choose we don't always choose the right things.

I don't do angry but i do sarcasm and holding back being
sarcastic is just as difficult as holding in anger. I use
sarcasm as my safety valve to draw anger out of others which is
just as wrong.
Nothing should stop our walking with Jesus, do we say "wait
there a moment Jesus, I'll just deal with this!" if so then why
not simply look at the thing that annoyed us and then continue
onward's with Jesus giving little room of such trifles in the
scheme of things.
Don't obsess on anything its just not worth it.. because as I
always say yesterdays newspapers have little interest with us
today and neither have yesterdays arguments. Time that "water
under the bridge" fades everything

Ivor - why not simply look at the thing that annoyed us
I was wondering after reading this line do things annoy us or do
we annoy us.
If we are dead in Christ then nothing can affect a dead body.
If we take this at face value then what is it that makes us
upset, we do get upset but why?
Nothing can annoy us without our cooperation, can it?

Just saying what's in "my" real world James,.... I'm not perfect
yet, mines a long walk
Jesus did get annoyed by the money changes robbing people in the
temple

It seems that the enemy knows which buttons to press. He knows
the little things that irritate. And, as already said...The
Spirit shows us through the irritation that we are not as dead
as we think we are. ( Not that I thought I was...I am very
aware of how un-dead I still am!! :-\ )

"You've got to confess what you are called to, and then you've
got to turn that into an overcoming language that makes you
press in.
Standing is cool but pressing in, I think, is better.
Walking forward under pressure saying, "You can't beat me! You
can't beat me! You can't beat me!" to the enemy!"
