Simple Steps That You Can Take To Be In Victory
The first thing to do once you are awake is say a short prayer of thanksgiving and praise.
Be aware that God Our Father only has blesssings installed for you so expect to see them.
Not everything you encounter in your day will be "peaches and roses", there will be challenges that you will face. Taking on these challenges knowing that you having access to the Holy Spirit's wisdom you will be given the victory as you ask for guidance in the times.
Part of your early morning activities should be a bible reading and committing the day in prayer. If not first thing make some time to cover the day in prayer and bible reading.
When it is suitable it is a good thing to communicate with a close Christian friend and encougae each other.
Most important is to enjoy each moment. Not every moment will be pleasent but in these moments reach to Our Father and be thakful that "all things work together for good for those who love God, to these who are called according to His purpose". Romans 8:28. (CJB)* You are "called according to His purpose".
When you find that old 'bad habits' come and start to 'mess up' your day don't get caught up in self pity. Make this declaration about yourself. " I am the righteousness in Christ". What you are doing is stating that your actions do not make un-righteous because you have been made righteous by Jesus Christ's righteousness. You need to shake off any comdemation about your actions and claim your heavenly position.
Another thing you can do to help change your thoughts about yourself is write out some scriptures that enforce the New Mindset you now have. Put them on your phone, small cards, or in a notebook that you keep close. Having quick access to these types of scriptures is very helpful in times of doubt.
A final point. Make the decision each day to enjoy the freedom you have in Jesus Christ. Yes there will be times this is difficult but Joy is a decision not an emotion. Using some of the tools above will help. Remember when others around you see that circumstances don't stop your day even if you are showing signs of struggling they will be asking you How??
Sharing your faith in these times might not always be possible but they will note it and be asking you what make you different when they are having a struggle themselves. If you are able to share your faith, this can be very exciting and encouraging to your walk with God Our Father.
