So today was a very boring day for me, I spent the day by myself, did a few errands here and there, but overall it was very slow. And by 2pm i was just chilling at home without a care in the world. And I’m not sure what it is, but within these past few days, I haven’t really been on that super, really high on life feeling, that I normally have. Like that fire for life, that’s always flaming in my heart. For example, tomorrow, is just a day to me, not a blessing, or something to look forward to or be excited about. Or to see as an opportunity to do God’s will. And I’m not sure if these feelings are a result of the gloomy weather or other measures outside of my control, but I know I don’t want to use it as an excuse to complain, walk in satisfactory content or struggle to remain positive. And i don’t want to have to be inspired again just to be excited about life and cherish it everyday, I feel like it should be something automatic. Everyday I want to wake up, put on the WHOLE armour of GOD, walk with a positive mind and heart, stand by faith and know that with whatever comes my way, God strengthens me and He is overall. But I think that even being as long as Christian as I have, its still an everyday task. It’s not something that comes easily. Especially with the weighs of this world and the negative pressures we face, it’s not easy always remaining positive 100% of time, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. So what I’m learning is really to just take it one day at a time. Planning ahead is always good, but I think, at least for me, just focusing on one day at a time puts my mind at easy and makes the day obtainable and succesful. Because when I put my mind on several things, I feel overwhelmed and that I can’t do it. And even just talking negatively about situations, KEEPS you negative, so I have remain positive always as much as I can. I pray that God uses this small amount, a mustard seed and multiplies it into a garden. I stand by faith

I struggle with this everyday. Waking up and seeing the next day as a day to do God’s will is something I’m always battling with.
I’m not going to say it’s impossible but it will take a lot of renewing of the mind and practice to wake up everyday and automatically want to do God’s will and not yours.
Other than that, keep pressing towards that. The fact that you even recognized that in your life is showing that you want to improve. God can work with that.
