We all wake up on certain days where it feels like we are flooded with negative emotions. Arising from bed, we go to make a cup of coffee and sit down in our recliner. It’s like something opened up the floodgates of negativity. Negative thoughts seem to be flooding our minds, so that all the areas of our brain seem to be eventually effected. We look at certain situations with a negative perspective. Only the negative-side seems to be present, and no matter how much we try to see things differently, nothing seems to change. There are different approaches one could take to this type of situation. One of those, though, is what the Apostle Paul talked about, and that is namely encouragement. We are instructed in Scripture to bring encouragement to one another, but did you know that you can actually encourage yourself? Certainly. We don’t always need others to encourage us. As a matter of fact, we can let God encourage us through the Scriptures. One good way I have found to accomplish this task is not be simply reading the Scriptures, but rather by have a list of positive affirmations from the Scriptures on hand.
