Welcome back to Renew Inspiration! I cannot believe it is December 1st already. Where did the year go? Lately, I have been struggling with my son’s behavior problems at home/school, transitioning back to full-time work, and dealing with grief due to the holidays, birthdays, etc. I thought it would be nice to hold myself accountable by writing a blog encouraging my spirit.

ORDER MY STEPS

The steps of a good man are ordered by the Lord: and he delighteth in his way. (Psalm 37:23)

God, please order my steps on today! Give me direction. Guide my mind (thoughts), body (movement) and spirit (soul) each day. Open my spiritual eyes so that I can see the plans you have for me. Open my heart so that I can forgive those who have hurt me in the past. God allow me to trust you and to trust my journey.

Moreover, when we pray for God’s guidance and for discernment through the Holy Spirit, we can be rest assured that God will provide wisdom to his children.

Here’s some spiritual ways to help you prepare for God’s guidance:

• Cleansing – It is important to examine our own lives. What in my life will hinder me from seeing or receiving God’s guidance?

• Surrendering – You have to surrender your will to God and you must bring your will under submission to His.

• Asking – Understand that you can ask anything according to God’s will and he hears your request(s).

• Meditating on God’s Word – God often times use His word to reveal things to His children.

• Believing – Have faith in God and believe that God will answer your prayer. Then, give you the necessary guidance to make it through your situation.

• Waiting – Be patient and remember that it is not our timing, but God’s timing.

• Receiving – God has our best interest at heart so always be prayerful and listen for His response.

STEPS FOR YOU TO FOLLOW

For this God is our God for ever and ever: he will be our guide even unto death. (Psalm 48:14)

Despite what I may be going through right now, I know that God always have my best interest at heart as He order my steps from day to day. Now, we know as long as we live, troubles will come. Instead of sinking in the sand, let’s prepare ourselves instead.

Here’s some steps for you to follow the next time you face a challenge in life:

• Step 1 – Spend time in a quiet place where you can be alone with no distractions.

• Step 2 – Light a candle to set the mood.

• Step 3 – Quiet yourself before God for a few minutes and then thank God for being present with you.

• Step 4 – Then, thank God for blessings in your life. This practice builds confidence that no matter what challenges you face in life, there are still blessings to celebrate.

• Step 5 – Now, make your request known to God. State your challenge and what you need.

• Step 6 – Ask God how you can honor Him in this situation. Pause. Be still and see what comes to you.

• Step 7 – Don’t try to process the thoughts. Just write them down and reflect on them later.

As you can see, we have to make our requests known to God and build our relationship with Him. As we read and study God’s Word we are reminded of God’s guidance throughout our lives. God is our Heavenly Father and God is our Shepherd who leads us daily.

Special Thought – Trust yourself. You’ve survived a lot, and you’ll survive whatever is coming.

Welcome back to Renew Inspiration! Today, I want to speak about trusting yourself whole again. It is hard to trust other people when you don’t trust yourself. To take this a step further, if you are going through life waiting on other people to guide your every move or make important decisions for you, then you need to take note of your current situation and make necessary changes in order to grow on a personal level.

***FREE***Positive Affirmations Freebie***CLICK HERE***

Now, let’s begin your journey of growth by answering these questions:

• Are my actions guided by love or fear?
• What do I want or need in my life?
• Is this action important to me or other people?
• Will this action bring peace or inner turmoil?

Trust yourself. You know more than you think you do. – Benjamin Spock

To begin with, trusting yourself whole again is an on-going and everchanging process. So, how do you define trusting yourself whole again? Like any other thought or feeling we experience in life, our definitions may vary from person to person, but here’s how you know when you are trusting yourself whole again:

• You are a survivor.
• You practice kindness, not perfection.
• You refuse to give up on yourself.
• You are able to take care of your personal needs and safety.

In addition, throughout this process, it is important to note that sometimes people need permission to break. Believe it or not, it is from that broken place that you are finally able to become whole again.

Here’s some things to look for while you’re in this broken state:

• You will notice what you’re feeling.
• You will take time to pause and be silent.
• You will meditate and reconnect with your inner being.
• You will be grateful for all things, big or small.
• You will choose to feel whole and complete.

TIPS FOR BUILDING TRUST IN YOURSELF

Trust yourself enough to let go, shift, and uproot. Give yourself permission to shed who you used to be. You are allowed to start over and find new ways to bloom into your best self. – Alex Elle

Remember, that at any moment you can choose to feel whole again, no matter what is or isn’t in your life. You need nothing to feel whole except your realization that you are.

Here’s some tips for building trust in yourself:

• Be yourself and be your own inspiration.
• Set reasonable goals for yourself.
• Be kind to yourself.
• Build on your strengths, not weaknesses.
