My mind was racing with negativity, I wanted to make all kind of negative comments. That day I had a Devils’s Attitude. Everyone and just about everything had gotten on my nerves, work, family, friends, traffic. My tolerance had hit an all time low and I was about to snap.
I started praying and reminding my self to protect my peace. I even moved my a little sign I keep on my desk that says, “protect your peace” closer to me. I knew I couldn’t let the Devil’s Attitude take over and steal my joy. It still seemed that no matter how I fought, there were still situations where I let the Devil’s Attitude win. I either got smart or didn’t do what I was supposed to. Of course I felt bad about it and I knew I would have to give encounter of my actions.
The Devil’s Attitude still took over for a period and I made a comment to some ladies that was completely uncalled for. Immediately after I made the comment, I wondered to myself, where in the world did that come from. I wondered why did I say that. I wanted to take it back and was really upset with myself for even saying it. It really bothered me for part of the evening when I got home. There was no reason for me to even make the comment.
The next day when I read my daily devotional I was reminded that we sometimes are judgmental, mean spirited or have a Devil’s Attitude. We sometimes act before we even know why or even think about why.
I learned for myself that there is already some negativity in your spirit that you are dealing with or maybe that exist that you are NOT dealing with. It causes you to have negative attitudes when things are going well or pressure builds up sometimes. It causes you to have a Devil’s Attitude
When you feel the negativity surfacing, you have to pray harder. Find prayers in your study bible that help you with negativity you can read/study to refer to. Request prayer through your church or connect group.
Protecting my peace is one of the most important things to me. I have learned that if I can do that, I can overcome the negativity and I have peace and joy each and every day in each and every situation. I have better days no matter what comes my way. I love when I face the day and I protect my peace, the Devil’s Attitude does not win.
