In a world that seems determined to leave us feeling powerless, in regards to everything from Government infighting to Global Warming, we can often feel out of our depth to make a difference.
If I personally look too long at all the things I cannot fix, it leaves me feeling discouraged. If I get discouraged, then I find myself slowing down to look in that pet store window for way too long, so to speak.

I can easily become more focused on where the grass could be greener, instead of focusing on watering my own yard! This is NOT a healthy attitude to carry for a woman who prays, which is really the only effective way I believe most can bring any change. In my opinion, we need some serious Miracles to occur for any real healthy changes.

So, to keep this woman who prays going strong, Note To Self #7 comes from 2 Corinthians 10:4,5…
“The weapons we fight with are not the weapons of the world. On the contrary, they have divine power to demolish strongholds. We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ.”
This reminds me of where the power to change truly lies, and this restores the hope that fuels my ability to stand in the gap for others, through praying!
Since I mentioned the idea of miracles, a song by Third Day titled, “I Need a Miracle” popped into my memory and I thought it appropriate to share… https://youtu.be/bTjimzpyE4k?si=d4Fr9awLJoP72JdL
Yes, good reminder of where the power to change comes from

Thanks for the post. I learned lately more and more to fight on my knees. I experience God’s supernatural protection and provision day by day. God says I will bless you and keep you. Something small, there was a cat in the shop where I work. The people wanted to harm the cat. I tried to trap the cat. I just prayed and asked God to help. The cat got out of the shop. I could not catch it, it is wild. That was a miracle.

I have always loved the wisom in the Serenity Prayer:
God grant me the serenity To accept the things I cannot change; Courage to change the things I can; And wisdom to know the difference. Living one day at a time; Enjoying one moment at a time; Accepting hardships as the pathway to peace; Taking, as He did, this sinful world As it is, not as I would have it; Trusting that He will make all things right If I surrender to His Will; So that I may be reasonably happy in this life And supremely happy with Him Forever and ever in the next. Amen.
