Mental Warzone
Hi friends, I hope you are doing well. Finals week is here for many of you, and work may be ramping up, too. It's a busy time for many of us, and the chaos can seep into our minds. Am I right? I'm always facing a to-do list, fighting the anxiety, and trying to make it through each day. There are so many times when I feel that I am not good enough or that I am doing everything wrong. My brain feels so loud lately, and it is really hard trying to turn it off. I'm trying to figure out who I am and what my purpose is. I'm still learning that it is okay to be me. I am enough. But why is the mental tug-of-war so difficult? I go back and forth from being fine to not being fine. At this point in my life, I just want to say "Come what may". I know Jesus is always by my side, and I just need Him to infiltrate a little deeper into my brain cells. When I feel the mental warzone start to go to battle, I always ask God to get in my head before I do. My brain is loud and chaotic, and all I want is to do the right things and put the Lord first. I just want to be successful and pleasing to the Lord. I try to listen to God and what He is putting on my heart. I just don't want to mess up my life even more. Here's a bit of encouragement: God pushes you in the right direction. Everything He does is for His glory and for the success of your life. He knows exactly what you need, who you need, and when you need it. We just need to be open to what God is doing and what He is saying. Allow Him in, and watch how he quiets the noise around you.
Your friend,
Lauren
