Knowing the Right Thing, But Not Doing It

It’s so easy to know the right thing to do but not do it.

 
I have this problem when I'm dealing with stress.

 
I’ve been under incredible stress lately with health problems, deadlines, unexpected challenges, and surprising difficulties. 

 
At times I find myself feeling down, discouraged, and defeated.

 
It’s so easy to know the right thing to do but not do it.

 
I know these Scripture verses:

 
“Humble yourselves, therefore, under God’s mighty hand, that he may lift you up in due time. Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you.” 1 Peter  5:6-7

💙 Ah yes, I need to go humbly to God. Knowing He's in charge, I can leave my anxious thoughts at His feet.
 

“Blessed is the one who trusts in the Lord, whose confidence is in him.” Jeremiah 17:7

 

💙 Ah yes, I must not trust myself. My confidence should rest fully on God’s wisdom.
 

“Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.  And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.” Philippians 4:6-7
 

💙 Ah yes, I must seek God wholeheartedly, thanking Him for His goodness. Then I'll experience the peace I’m seeking, a peace that only He can give, a peace that’s unexplainable.

 
If you are also struggling, join me in doing the right thing!

 

💙💙💙
