For many years, every area of my life was under siege. My mind, emotions, my mouth…the devil. Whatever the cause, I was upset about everything in my life. It seemed that all of my opportunities for joy in this world got quickly snatched away. The man turned out to be married. Then another, and another. And the last one. I left churches without fanfare or any appreciation for all I tried to teach the people of God in Sunday school and Bible study.

At work, office politics resulted in unfair job loss, and subsequent financial debt. Untimely family deaths. Broken friendships. Constraints and flops in my business endeavors. Disappointments in higher educational pursuits. Weakness in my physical body. All of which led to anxiety and depression that I privately powered through. I was exhausted. I gained about 30 pounds. I was a wreck. Eventually, I discovered why. I was speaking negatively about my circumstances constantly, which was ruining my life.

BE A BLESSING!
