Looking for joy? Peace? What are things that are guaranteed to keep you from finding it?
Complaining and allowing our trials to bring us down…
Depending on our own strength to deal with trouble…
Vainly attempting to just power our way through…
Looking at what is happening around us as the ultimate reality…
Talking about everything we think is wrong in our lives…
Failing to seek out the big picture, or the purpose…
Believing our lives should be devoid of pain and sorrow…
Looking at our trouble & anguish obsessively…
Neglecting prayer – scorning thanksgiving – failing to praise…
Trying to handle everything alone…
Ignoring Who is in our hearts, and what He does for us there…
Staying our minds on self & neglecting our service to others…
Staying our minds on self & neglecting the promises of God…
