Do you talk to yourself? It doesn’t have to be out loud, but our thoughts do jump around in our mind. It would be wonderful if all thoughts or self-conversations were always uplifting and positive. Alas, we are human.  We sin. We allow negativity to pop into our conversations to self or into our minds. I have some remedies that work quite well for me. When anxiousness or fear are present, I say, “Jesus help me!” Now isn’t it interesting I’m always surprised that HE HELPS?  He is always there.  Always loving me unconditionally. Why does that still surprise me?

If I’ve already gone to bed and perhaps restless or too many thoughts running through my mind or concerns or worries, I cannot seem to let go of, I actually extend my hand.  Why?  Psalm 73: 23-24 “But even so, you love me! You are holding my right hand! You will keep on guiding me all my life with your wisdom and counsel, and afterwards receive me into the glories of heaven! “Don’t laugh at me or think it is weird, but I draw great comfort with my hand extended, knowing my Lord knows me so well.  I envision Him holding my hand.  Guess what? I drift right off to slumber-land. It is not a fallacy.  Our Heavenly Father loves us and wants us to seek Him.  Verse 24 creates a wonderful vision to ponder: “…keep on guiding me all my life with your wisdom and counsel, and afterwards receive me into the glories of heaven.”

I trust His Word, be certain you do too! It is powerful!
