Do you ever just have terrible days?

I’m feeling that way today. It’s just not a good day, in general.

I wish I didn’t get frustrated so easily. It seems like everyone else in the world just has a switch that they flip, and then they’re back to being their happy-go-lucky selves. Or they have the ability to not let things frustrate them in the first place.

I have neither.

Of course, the first thing that comes to mind is Philippians 4:13. A promise to which I can lay claim.

But it’s hard to do anything through Christ when you feel so very un-Christlike. I suppose that’s how Satan works – taking a truth (because it IS hard) and convincing you that you must succumb to it, turning it into a lie.

Frankly, I have yet to figure out how to defeat him in this arena.
