Breaking the Cycle!

Have you ever found yourself visiting the same situation over and over again? You wanted to break the cycle but wasn’t sure how or where to start! You keep going around in circles only to end up back where you started.

You’re not alone! In the past, I made bad choices that lead me down a wrong path which was further from God. We all take detours sometimes but you have to ask yourself where does the detour take me? If it takes you away from God then exit immediately!

One day I realized I needed to surrender all of me to God. I asked God to keep me and hide me in that secret place. I no longer wanted to make the same choices and mistakes that I previously made. I’m a living testimony that God will keep you (if you want to be kept)! Below is a poem that I wrote and hope it encourages you to surrender to God and to trust Him so the cycle can be broken in your life.

I Surrender

Psalm 139:23-24

I have Psalm 139:23-24 written on a posted note and attached to my bathroom mirror. I read it often because it’s my plea to God asking Him to shine His spotlight on and in me to see if I’m harboring anything that is not of Him. Some times we hold on to things that hinder our growth and the ability for God to use us effectively for His kingdom and His glory. It reads, Search me, oh God,  and know my heart. Test me and know my anxious thoughts. See if there is any offensive (wicked) way in me and lead me in the way everlasting.

Try reading these verses in the morning and before going to bed at night. I hope they help you just as they’ve helped me.
