Many of us have been in a place of “stuckness” one time or the other in our lives. Whether it was emotionally, mentally, financially or spiritually.
How do you know if you’re stuck?
Your stuck when you can’t seem to move either forward or backward; you are at a standstill in life. When that happens you’ve become stagnated.

Which one describes you?
Emotionally – You’re tired of letting old pain get in the way of wanting happiness in your life. You want to let it go but is unsure how.
Financially – Your reality seems to fight against your faith and the truth of the matter boils down to “How God, how?” You want to step out on faith but you have a newborn at home, a mortgage to pay and a spouse that does not understand what it means to “live by faith.”
Spiritually – You KNOW as a believer in Christ you are POWERFUL; however, that power you know that is available to you seems to be missing in your life and you don’t know HOW to get it. Religion (man made rules) isn’t working. You need something more but is unsure of the what it may be.
Mentally – Deep within the recesses of your brain self-limiting thoughts have snuck in. Telling you, you can’t do it. That you are nothing. No one wants to hear or read or listen to what you have to say. You are not as good as the other person; not as pretty and certainly not as smart. You know they are lies – ALL – lies, but every now and then you actually believe them and down you go, into the pit of “whoa is me”.

Here are some points to live by and think about:
1. Know who you are in and through Christ, literally and believe it. Ephesians 2:6-7
2. Change your thought process and renew your mind with the word of God and what his word says about your issue. Psalm 119:15 & 48
3. Desire a clean heart and learn to forgive. You don’t have to forget but you have to forgive. The tablets of your heart is what brings more or less of what you are experiencing into your life. Psalm 51:10 & James 4: 7-9
4. Know that you are just a vessel that God chooses to use and that everything you have He has given you. 1 Chronicles 29:11-13 & 2 Timothy 2:20-22
Be Blessed!
