Let the Spirit renew your thoughts and attitudes. Ephesians 4:23

God is so good! Not only are His mercies new every morning but by the power of the Holy Spirit He helps us with our daily lives. In the previous blog we talked about waking up in the morning and Satan being right there to bid on our thoughts. I don't know about you, but I'm not a morning person. I've tried to be but its just not working. So I was making it real easy for that monster to fill my mind early and set the tone for my day with negativity. After say, 40 years of that, I got tired of it myself. But how does a person wake up like the morning person they are not and chirp like a little birdie? Do you want the anwer today or tomorrow? Ok.OK! Here it is in a nutshell. Gratitude. Gratitude plus prayer. Just that simple. And I must say, it is that simple. Pray first. Ask forgiveness for being such a grouch in the morning. Admit it to yourself and God. And ask Him to help you. Then tomorrow morning when God touches your shoulder and begins to waken you, start listing things you are grateful for. Need some help there? Ok. How about the nice comfy bed and blankets that you are sleeping on? Can you open your eyes and see? Can you hear the coffee dripping into the coffee pot? Can you walk to it and pour some? Smells good? Are you warm? Is there a roof over your head and a vehicle that takes you to work parked outside? You have a job? Do you have Gods Word ? Must I go on? Try this every morning , be consistent. Allow God to renew your thoughts. You will be glad you did and so will eveyone else!
