Have you ever had something that you’re working on, like a project, or finding a job, or cleaning out the garage, or serving others, or just trying to be the best you can be. Sometimes when I am trying really hard, which I am doing most the time, I get distracted by discouragement. Thoughts like, I’m not good enough, no one wants to work with me, I’ll never get this project done, what is next for me, or I will never be that awesome. I know that God wants me to do my best. I know He is aware of me. So when those thoughts and feelings of discouragement come, I know who they are from, and I refuse to let him distract me like that. I get down on my knees and thank God for all  blessings given, even the challenges. I know that working through these things helps me to be the best I can be. Then I get busy, moving, working in whatever direction I feel prompted to. Your mind cannot think about two things at once, so think about Heavenly Father directing your activities, helping you along. He will, He does!

Don’t be distracted by discouragement! God loves you, I know He does! He will help you not to be distracted. Focus on what you know, like, I am a child of God. You can do it!

Love, Joy
