I want to challenge myself, so I am going to say "I trust Jesus" in response to whatever happens to me. Some say it takes 30 days to change a habit others say only 28 but I think there might be more involved. I did find this
The time you need to commit depends on three factors:
how difficult the
new habit is to do,
how often you do it,
and how much it clashes with
your current habits.
Imagine a piece of paper with a very deep crease.
Mastering a new habit is like ironing out the old crease and reinforcing
a new one--it takes time. "It will become a habit if you just hang in
there," Heidi Grant Halvorson, psychologist and author of Succeed: How We Can Reach Our Goals (Hudson Street Press, 2010).
So, world bare with me while I form my new habit of trusting Jesus. Hoping that through this simple practice I will learn to see Him in every situation and acknowledge His sovereign control over the universe. When I take this new skill I hope fear loses its grip on me, I hope to receive blessings gratefully, and I hope to strengthen my relationship with Jesus.
Psalm 63:1-8
You, God, are my God,
earnestly I seek you;
I thirst for you,
earnestly I seek you;
I thirst for you,
my whole being longs for you,
in a dry and parched land
where there is no water.
in a dry and parched land
where there is no water.
I have seen you in the sanctuary
and beheld your power and your glory.
and beheld your power and your glory.
Because your love is better than life,
my lips will glorify you.
my lips will glorify you.
I will praise you as long as I live,
and in your name I will lift up my hands
and in your name I will lift up my hands
I will be fully satisfied as with the richest of foods;
with singing lips my mouth will praise you.
with singing lips my mouth will praise you.
On my bed I remember you;
I think of you through the watches of the night.
I think of you through the watches of the night.
Because you are my help,
I sing in the shadow of your wings.
I sing in the shadow of your wings.
I cling to you;
your right hand upholds me.
your right hand upholds me.
Nodding my head and quietly saying..."mmmm..."
