Let’s learn to do adulting in a different way. Walk away from fights that will never be resolved.

I’ve been thinking a lot about life as an adult and I’ve come to the conclusion that you can have unrealistic expectations about people. We cannot control how someone treats us, but we can control whether we become a victim or a victorious.

Pay close attention to who you are with when you feel the best and who brings out the ugly side of you. Don’t get attached to grief, heartbreaks, and disrespect.

Stress comes from your thoughts about what’s going on in your life. Adjust your expectations and stop telling yourself that you don’t know what to do.

Trust God to show you what needs to be healed in you, so you wouldn’t cause others pain.

1 Chronicles 4:9-10 Jabez was a very good man, who was better than his brothers. His mother said, “I have named him Jabez because I was in much pain when I had him.” Jabez prayed to the God of Israel and said, “I pray that you would bless me and give me more land! Be near me and don’t let anyone hurt me! Then I will not have any pain.” God gave Jabez what he asked for.”

God can turn your greatest sorrow into your greatest victory. Your prayer changes things.

Prayer Time: Father, keep us from evil that we may not cause pain. In Jesus Name, Amen.

It’s okay to delete the last chapter and start writing a new chapter. Don’t rehearse it! Don’t curse it! Stop giving your past oxygen! Let go of everything that is weighing you down.
