The first couple of paragraphs talks about Satan inprinting on your mind that you can be harsh and rude and speak your mind because you are "just being honest" and therefore, change is not needed. (Meyers, pg. 76).
Prayer:
"Holy and positive God, forgive me for all my negative thinking. You want me to be loving and filled with Your joy. Help me so that Satan has no stronghold over my mind. Please destroy every negative aspect of my thinking, through Jesus my Lord. Amen"
********* My Thoughts ***********
I have never been a negative person.
Ok... maybe a little bit once inawhile.
Personally, I think I'm more grumpy than negative. (Is there a difference?)
I think so. You see, I would mope around about something or notice something was wrong, but I wouldn't fix it, I'd just say or think to myself that that is way it's supposed to be, nothing I can do about it.
Perhaps that is a way of negative thinking, too.
Change can happen to all of us.
God transformed my anger issues when I was 18.
He blessed me with an amazing husband who tells me when I'm being too grumpy or snappy and still loves me through it.
My parenting skills have changed to meet the needs of the kids (they are so different from eachother, I almost need two of me to parent them). :-)
Everyday God talks to me and blesses me with simple things and when I open my eyes to see them, and to be thankful for them, my grumpiness fades away.
May you be able to find something everyday to help your grumpiness fade, too.
