Day 14–Praise, The KEY to Life Unstuck!

Day 14 – Unstuck Praise

I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well. Psalm 139:14

Unstuck Truth 14: UnStuck days start with unstuck praise.

We are getting somewhere aren’t we my friend! God wants us to know His promises and to catch His vision for Life Unstuck. He is always doing a new thing. God’s Peace means there is nothing missing, nothing broken in our lives. He wants that for you!

In today’s Chapter–pages 146-153, I shared my funny “Alarm” story but God’s Alarms are quite serious! He wants us to heed the warnings of fear; grumbling and discontent and turn those STUCK places into PRAISE!

Look at some “Praise Intruders” once more:

• »  Complaints
• »  Criticism
• »  Impatience
• »  Unthankfulness
• »  Disrespect
• »  Ignorance of who God is
• »  Bitterness
• »  Discouragement
• »  Discontent

First of all, I want you to remember, carefully, any area of your life where one of these, or maybe one that is not listed here, is stealing your joy.

Are you struggling with pessimism?

Today–Write out the circumstance and then write out WHY you are pessimistic.

Do this as many times as you can with each “Intruder” that applies to your life.

Then I want you to do some research.

Here are some verses (there are a bunch here so look for your intruder!) which directly relate to each “Intruder” that you can apply to your circumstance and take back your PRAISE! So, the next time those pesky “Praise Intruders” show up, look up at least ONE of these verses so your PRAISE can send them back to where they belong!
