I know it’s just an attack to take my focus and blur my vision of the future I’m planning. Little things have been irritating me since last week and now I’m at the point where I just want to scream...Ugh! I’m no longer willing to wait it out; wait for the attacks to end. I’m declaring and decreeing right now that no weapon formed against me shall prosper.
People have been saying whatever they want to me and I’m no longer keeping quiet trying to “keep the peace”. If what’s being said doesn’t line up with your actions, I’m calling you on it. Don’t tell me you want change and when an opportunity is presented for you to be that change agent, DO NOT revert to your old ways and expect me to not say something. I’m finally seeing how that hinders me in my own life and keeping quiet with you is what I used to do.
These little things that I’ve been seeing in other people that has been causing the irritation in my life is the evidence that I needed in order to see that I’m truly making a change for the better in my life. It’s apparent that I’m no longer going with the flow and in the process the butting of heads with those who only talk change but are unwilling to walk in that change is what has been causing the friction.
Colossians Chapter 3 in the Message Bible really brought home to me what my stance should be and why I shouldn’t entertain irritability in my life. Being irritated was part of the old way in which I used to process circumstances and situations, however, being in Christ now affords me the ability to stand firm in my decisions and not allow the “little things” that have no part in my destiny to influence my life. Just that adjustment not only cleared my vision but brought into focus what’s truly important in my life right now: Debt Freedom.
That’s a good topic. What I suggest you do right now is to look outside of yourself and do something for someone else. It doesn’t have to be anything BIG or costly. You can speak a kind word to someone (a lot of someone’s). Say more than just “how are you?” - take note of what you notice about them that made you want to speak and tell them about it. I’ve also found that when I take art/craft classes (check out your local library) that require me to concentrate on the project, I can “get out of my head” long enough to not think on those things that keep me down. The Word says to “Cast down imaginations, and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, and bring into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ;”

It sounds like you are stuck and keep getting deeper into depression because those thoughts have been exalted above your knowledge of God. Start with this morning quiet time routine: 15 minutes of prayer and 20 minutes of reading the Bible. You’ve got to increase your knowledge of God and what better way than to go to the source. Hope this helps...
