So often, I've allowed things that have happened in my past to get me bogged down in a miry pit.
I also find it very difficult to forgive myself sometimes.
A couple of years ago, I started doing a little "exercise" when I would start feeling overwhelmed where I would take a deep breath and simply breathe in Jesus.....
and breathe out whatever the "demon of the moment" might be.
Hence the new blog title....."Breathing in Jesus"!!!
A few things that I'm working on breathing out.....
fears
rejection
self condemnation
hopelessness
prejudices
pride
anger
jealousy
irritations
discouragements
bitterness
self pity
stress
accusations
.....and instead.....
breathing in Jesus.....
and His grace and His mercy.....
but, most of all His Love!!!

Good thoughts.
ReplyDeleteI hope this is a good week for you Deb!
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful title for your blog...and beautiful concept. Breathing in Jesus and breathing out anything that takes our focus off of Him.
