The Psalmist Voice Reloaded: Being Honest With God

Step 1: Know what you are thinking.

I made a promise to myself to be honest about where I was, even when it wasn’t pretty because only when I admitted the struggles, could change occur. This is why we must be vulnerable with Him. He wants to turn our heartaches into triumphs, but He won’t force His way in. He wants us to hand Him the addictions and help us walk away from them and not fall back in.

He wants to show us how to live abundantly. This also means truthfully.

I didn’t like where I had been planted at first and it didn’t change just because, no it took a change of thoughts. I had to pray continuously that God would use me and show me something there. That He would give me a mission. And WOW, He did!

Step 2: Tell Him what you are feeling and thinking.

Admitting where we are takes strength. Let me be honest with you, it takes guts.

Can we admit we are NOT strong enough to beat addiction on our own?

Can we admit we are NOT able to fix it ourselves?

Feelings are fleeting but boy, they are real when you experience them. He isn’t afraid of what you are feeling. Let truth overtake your feelings.

I told Him where I was at with it. I didn’t like it, but I chose to accept it. To trust that His reasons are better.
