Now I just need to pray more and stay aware of my mood! That's my main trigger!
Challenges of your mood should not cause discouragement. That is God allowing you to be tested because He thinks you can handle it.
If you are aware of it, the trials get easier and your burden lightens even when the trials get more intense.
If you aren’t aware of it and take the poor Me attitude why does God hate me cry position, you will be overwhelmed and backslide easily
Remember the verse from Job. Blessed is the man whom God chastises, for He smites but He binds up, He wounds but His hands give healing
In the New Testament it is encouragement that God chastises those whom He loves. If you are not chastised then ye a bastards and not sons
Now we do not go out seeking chastisement, but if we receive it, we reflect on why we deserve it and do not blame others or worse blame God.
Consider Psalm 95
Come let us praise the Lord with joy: let us joyfully sing to God our saviour.
2 Let us come before his presence with thanksgiving; and make a joyful noise to him with psalms.
3 For the Lord is a great God, and a great King above all gods.
4 For in his hand are all the ends of the earth: and the heights of the mountains are his.
5 For the sea is his, and he made it: and his hands formed the dry land.
6 Come let us adore and fall down: and weep before the Lord that made us.
7 For he is the Lord our God: and we are the people of his pasture and the sheep of his hand.
8 To day if you shall hear his voice, harden not your hearts:
9 As in the provocation, according to the day of temptation in the wilderness: where your fathers tempted me, they proved me, and saw my works.
10 Forty years long was I offended with that generation, and I said: These always err in heart.
11 And these men have not known my ways: so I swore in my wrath that they shall not enter into my rest
Always obey God, even if you get chastised, stay true and give Him praise suffer willingly in humility and in secret and He rewards you openly
I have been chastised myself and endured it, and He gives me His grace which is worth more than what I lost
