It's up to you to find out how they apply to "your" Life.

Why do I allow myself to fall into a discouraged or distressed state of mind?

"If you are entertaining doubt, worry, fear or anxiety, then you aren't talking to God; you're talking to the other guy."
Dr. Loretta Standley~

I am able to stand strong in my spirituality no matter what I face.

For a more enriching experience,
go down on your knees to pray or take it one step further
and prostrate yourself (lay face down) on the floor while praying.

Father, today's scripture below reminds me of when I step directly into worry, doubt, fear or anxiety and that the energy only comes into me when I openly allow it. In the reading below, Jesus knew that the minute Peter spoke fearfully he had allowed the negative force to enter his body and direct his thoughts. I can see how I need to continually stay at the top of my game so as not to fall into negative or fearful traps when I know that type of energy is not from or of You. Thinking that way could not possibly be from You and that should be my first clue. Thank you so much for this awesome awareness today.
Through Jesus Christ's Most Precious Blood, Most Sacred Name and Most Holy Face, I thank You for this awareness. Amen~

A reading from the Holy Gospel according to Matthew

Matthew 16:21-27

21 From that time on, Jesus began to show His disciples that He must go to Jerusalem and suffer greatly from the elders, the chief priests, and the scribes, and be killed and on the third day be raised.
22 Then Peter took him aside and began to rebuke him, "God forbid, Lord! No such thing shall ever happen to you."
23 He turned and said to Peter, "Get behind me, Satan! You are an obstacle to Me. You are thinking not as God does, but as human beings do."
24 Then Jesus said to His disciples, "Whoever wishes to come after Me must deny himself, take up his cross, and follow Me.
25 For whoever wishes to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for My sake will find it.
26 What profit would there be for one to gain the whole world and forfeit his life? Or what can one give in exchange for his life?
27 For the Son of Man will come with His angels in His Father's glory, and then He will repay everyone according to his conduct."
The Gospel of the Lord
Praise to You Lord Jesus Christ
