Sometimes i speak depression into my life....

[JoyInMySoul]

"May the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable to You, LORD, my rock (strength) and my Redeemer" (Psalm 19:14).

This is one of my favorite Bible verses, i always say it after i finish my prayers every night, however i don't always obey this scripture, my mouth is one of my biggest problems spiritually, i don't curse, gossip or put people down or anything but i do have a negative attitude about life at times.

When i encounter problems in my life the first thing i do is speak negatively about it, and since the Bible says in PROVERBS 18:21 "Death and life are in the power of the tongue, and those who love it will eat its fruit." i think i may give the "evil one" a hold in my life before i even pray and ask God for help in the situation and i usually end up "eating the fruit" which is depression, i've been reading a few books that say before i speak ill about a situation i should pray first.

I usually claim i'm depressed about a situation before i give God time to work in my life, i should be praising God and asking him for direction, but i usually don't do that until AFTER i have claimed something negative out of my mouth.

I'm trying to change this but its such a bad habit that i've been battleing with for years. Please pray for me.

I know i'm supposed to Never, Ever confess anything negative, but instead i should Confess Jesus as Lord of every situation because this brings glory to God, but i usually rely on my own understanding (which the Bible warns us against) in these things because i think i know whats best for my life when i really don't.

I also know i am responsible for what comes out of my mouth, but this never deters me from speaking negative things.

The Bible recognizes the power of words.

Words can get you in trouble. And words can deliver you from trouble (prayer) . The bottom line is Words control our lives and destinies.

So why am i having such a hard time controlling my mouth recently?? I don't know, i guess it comes from years of NEGATIVE THINKING about certain things which has lead to negative things coming out of my mouth.

Proverbs 23:7says"For as he thinketh in his heart, so is he:"

So my prayer for today is: "I'm trying my best to please you Lord but sometimes i fall short, but i am positive i can overcome this problem i have with my mouth with your direction and love guiding me. Thank you God for being patient with me. In Jesus name i pray Amen.

Other than praying, what else are you doing to enforce positive thinking? Remember. With all the negative information out there, we have to combat it with filling our head with positive information. I suggest starting here. Zig Zigglars RSS feeds

Definately! Your self talk greatly effects your mental thought process. NO matter how silly it seems, always keep your self encouraged. Like say you make a mistake doing something, instead of saying "dang im so stupid" be like, "WOOPS!" or somehting lol ...
But either way Joy, keep your chin up!
