a reminder to self: your self respect has to be stronger than your feelings. if not, that person will keep on doing what you continue to allow them to do so. you have to come to a realization that your self worth is so much more than that. especially if they’re disrespecting you and your boundaries and/or not reciprocating energy. change without action is manipulation. they heard you the first. second. and third time. it’s time you learn to let go. set the standard for your life. raise the bar. don’t accept the bare minimum just because you’re in a period of loneliness and isolation. that’s the time you should value most. it’s imperative to learn to love yourself. you’ll find growth and contentment in your solitude. trust me. it does get better in due time.

i’ve been learning this season that prayer is so important and God is so accessible. He’s closer than our every breath yet we forget that He is near. i’ve started being intentional about reading the Word and praying in the middle of my day, aside from my quiet time, and have felt more centered and closer to Him. too often, we brush prayer aside as a last resort or we only strictly do it in the morning or at night. it’s still important to do it during those times, but watch how God shows up when we are intentional about seeking Him in every part of our day - in the morning, in the afternoon, and at night.

pray about it. your mood swings, your temper, your ego, your insecurities, your mindset, your self-love, your emotional state, your environment, your relationships, your lack of motivation, your lack of execution, your attraction to bad people. give God every piece of you and every vessel. pray about it all. power of prayer is indescribable.
