Greetings Prayer Warriors,
There are lots of ways one can “be” over the holidays that cover a whole range of attitudes. Some are less than attractive and hardly Christ-like. Yet, one’s attitude can depend on one’s situation, and that can shift daily especially during the holidays.
Prayer time is especially important during the holidays where ironically it can be squeezed out. Dispositions shift without prayer (at least mine does) so carve out that daily time! Hold on to your attitude of gratitude, and it will serve you well as you guard your actions and speech. For inspiration, meditate on the beatitudes and you will learn how to be too blessed to be stressed.
“Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Blessed are they who mourn, for they will be comforted. Blessed are the meek, for they will inherit the land. Blessed are they who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be satisfied. Blessed are the merciful, for they will be shown mercy. Blessed are the clean of heart, for they will see God. Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called children of God. Blessed are they who are persecuted for the sake of righteousness, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Blessed are you when they insult you and persecute you and utter every kind of evil against you [falsely] because of me. Rejoice and be glad, for your reward will be great in heaven. Thus they persecuted the prophets who were before you. Matthew 5:3-12
Be positive, stay positive, remain in prayer and His peace guard your hearts.
Peace, Joy, and Love,
Janet
You never walk along when you have prayer warriors. Pass it on!
