Don't Give in to Self-Pity
Self-pity is a destructive and negative emotion. It blinds us to our
blessings and the possibilities before us and it steals our hope for
both today and tomorrow. People who pity themselves think, "Why should I try to do anything? I'll just fail."
Self-pity is actually idolatry because it is self-focus carried to the
extreme. When we allow ourselves to fall into self-pity, we are
essentially rejecting God's love and His ability to change things.
I encourage you not to waste one more day of your life in self-pity.
When you lose hope and begin to feel sorry for yourself, stop and say:
'I refuse to feel sorry for myself. I may be in a difficult season of
life right now, but I will not stop hoping for better things!'
God has thoughts and plans for your good, to give you hope for your
future. If you will hold on to your hope and fight for it when the enemy
tries to take it away, you will see amazing things take place in your
life.
Prayer Starter: God, I refuse to feel sorry for myself. Even if things
are difficult right now, I know that You are bigger than my problems and
that You have a good future planned for me. I want Your plans to come
to pass in my life, and I trust in You to change my circumstances
according to Your will.
