“If you’re fighting your problems, you’re already on the losing side.” Canon GlennonYears ago I tried the liquid protein diet (and almost died), but I did lose a lot of weight in just six days. So much in fact that none of my jeans fit any longer. But the worst of this experience was a rumor that started about me...that I had an abortion.
But, a good friend advised me, “Only a guilty person needs to defend themselves. Give it time and the truth will become known.” Waiting was excruciating. I asked for prayer, "Please pray for peace in the midst of the storm." Before long I began to feel at peace. God’s comfort settled over me like a warm blanket on a chilly night. I no longer fought the illusive, intangible problem that had no reasonable solution. Are you fighting a ghost of a problem?...Twitter, Facebook, etc.? Do you long to defend your innocence? What will you do differently today to switch to the 'winning side'? Lord, the cares of this world are many; help me remember to bring them to You and trust that You have a better solution than anything I could devise. Amen “Do not be afraid or discouraged…for the battle is not yours, but God’s.” II Chronicles 20:15 What are your thoughts? Libby
