Lets face it, we've all been here before; that moment where you just lay back in your bed wide awake at night and just ponder as your thoughts run rampent in your mind leaving you restless, sad confused, depressed even as you sit there and wonder "why"?
-Why am I here?
-What haven't things changed?

-Could my life have been different?

-What am I not doing that I should be?

-What must I change?

-What must I do?

-What must I think?

-What must I feel?

-and so on....

We've all been here before, heck even I tend to find myself here alot when I think about some of the things that have happened in my life that I just wonder- "could things have been different?" Maybe they could have!! For all I know, there could be a number of things in my life that could have happened differently if I'd just done something or hadn't done something that I should or shouldn't have done.... God only knows! But the past is in the past, I cant change or undo whats already been done, can't roll back the clock to make that change to find out what would have been different if I'd only done something differently.... but as hard as this is to say, and maybe some of you even to accept... its "better" this way, and here's why;

Because our pasts shape our character, they give us things to look back to, remind us of what we did "wrong" so we could grow from those times, learn from them so "not" to repeat them in the future, and also even reach out to, or encourage others "not" to repeat those same mistakes we made! Whether they listen or not isnt important, all that matters is what "you" do with what "you" know "while" you can to "avoid" finding yourself in that same state of idleness or regret that you found yourself in before, or maybe are currently working through now. So what then do we do when we find ourselves here? Rather than entertain the thoughts that lead us to question our choices and existence while Satan MOCKS us in the the corner of our rooms.... "pray"....

Humble yourselves, therefore, under God’s mighty hand, that he may lift you up in due time. Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you. 1 Peter 5:6-7

As scripture says; don't dwell in your thoughts and grant them leverage to consume you gradually and painfully every second you lay there in bed waiting for the night to pass you by, confront them, bring them before the throne of grace that the Lord may lift these burdens from your shoulders and help you to see and to understand clearly what you must do from here on out! We cannot change whats been done, and we may not be able to erase the thoughts that haunt us from our pasts, either from the mistakes that we've made, or the things that have been done to us.... but we most certainly have a choice to decide whether to let those thoughts get the better of us, or to say to our thoughts, SHUT UP AND BE SILENT IN THE NAME OF JESUS, FOR YOUR WORDS DO NOT AND WILL NOT DEFINE ME, FOR I AM DEFINED BY THE ONE WHO DIED AND ROSE AGAIN TO SAVE ME FROM THE LIKES OF YOU!!

And yes.... I wont deny, for some of you, perhaps this is "easier said than done" of which, hey... I can most certainly relate to that... it is a challenge, a battle, a war of the mind and heart if you will.... but from experience I assure you, its a battle worth fighting for, because of the one who for every day since the beginning of time from the moment man first sinned kept up the fight for us because he saw in us something worth loving enough that he was willing to die to save. Christ kept fighting to save me, and you also, so for those of you looking for a reason to keep up the fight, do it for him, because he did it for you~

God bless and be strong fellow brothers and sisters in Christ!

As for those of you among the viewers of this content who "do not" believe or know Christ yet are also facing these battles, I pray the Lord touches your hearts and that you too find it in you to seek and know Christ as we do, that he too may help you over come the troubles of your minds~
