“My Daily Recipe” Blog #190
Is it possible to refuse to give in to Depression?
Do I feel drained and overcome with anxiety many days?
Do screens and cell phones take the place of calm in my life?
There have been moments in every persons life where each of us have been afraid to live
and afraid to die. This is a normal part of living. It was only in one of my moments of
frustrated isolation, searching inward, crying out internally, when a quiet moment of actual
prayer inside me asked for help. My prayer was heard. Immediately I felt calm, loved
and at peace. At this stage of my life, I can quietly confirm I will always be unprepared to
deal with any kind of crisis unless I incorporate the tools for dealing with life in only one
way. My Daily Recipe for living is what has kept my head above water and served as
my lifeboat amidst any storm I may encounter. The best part of my Daily Recipe is
working out of my “Higher Self” with levels of energy and awareness. Jesus Christ is
here to show me the way every minute of every hour of each day.
It’s absolutely critical I keep my body pure and clean of any outside sources of
compromise. I do not drink, smoke or put any drugs into my being. Dark energies
cannot and will not and do not enter into my person because I do not allow this! There are
Two Choices of being in this world today, WHICH ONE AM I?
A Higher Self Mentality Lower Self Mentality
Spirituality, Devotion Fear, Doubt, Anger
Love, Trust, Honesty Mistrust, Gossip, Judging
Understanding, Forgiveness Resentment, Blame
Discernment, Discipline Worry, Remorse,
Humor, Honor Denial, Lying
The first part of my Daily Recipe is waking each morning and praying 15 minutes. While in
prayer with my Creator I am taking deep breaths and asking questions,
Why Am I alive? Whats my purpose for living? Why is this Situation in my life today?
Many of the words in Higher Self “Mentality are asked of me DAILY? (Go over them)
Who am I to Forgive today? How Can I discern what I need to do? How do I discipline?
My Daily Recipe Prayer:
Thank you God for surrounding me in Love, Light and Laughter. Lead me in the right
direction for my Highest Good and thank you for keeping me In my “Higher Self” while I
am on this earth”
I always want to be ready for any encounter I may have. I ask Jesus to please keep me
protected with HIS “Spiritual Armor of Protection” around me always. Some people out
there may say, “but look at Charlie Kirk, he was an outspoken Evangelical Christian and a
Conservative Campus Activist. He was all about Jesus Christ and yet still he was gunned
down on a college campus!” We do not know when each of us will die. This is not up to us
to decide. Yet, one thing is for sure, Charlie was not afraid to die. Now Charlie has become
a Christian Martyr. Ironically, just a few months before he was gunned down, Charlie was
interviewed by Jack Selby, host of the Iced Coffee Hour. Jack said to Charlie, “If everything
just completely went away, how would you want to be remembered today?” Charlie said:
“you mean if I die?” Jack Selby said, “Yes, How would you want to be remembered?” “I
want to be remembered for courage for my faith“, Charlie Kirk answered. “That would
be the most important thing. The most important thing to me is my faith”.
Just prior to getting shot, Charlie had proclaimed to the crowd of over three thousand
people gathered on the campus at Orem, Utah. Christ is Lord and the Son of God has
defeated death”. We live in very secular times right now. Sad, dark times. There is so much
mystery to life and things we will never understand. However, I understand this, with my
Christian Faith in tact and my Daily Recipe for living, I feel strong, safe and removed from
the “slings and arrows” of any daily darkness I may encounter. My Faith has replaced my
Fear.
Can I incorporate a Daily Recipe for living in my life today?
