I know what’s it like to be offended at God. I was offended by Him before I had the words to explain it.

He had me leave a church I loved, sell a house that would have been paid off, get rid of my library so I wouldn’t have to move it, and start all over in New Zealand.

Oh did I mention my Dad was diagnosed with Bulbar ALS—a disease that removed him from community as he lost his ability to speak, removed him from camaraderie as he lost his ability to swallow and removed him from this existence as he lost his ability to breath.

We came back from New Zealand quickly so I could help him publish his book before he passed away.

What it meant to me

When I was a young pastor, more than one person called me "the golden child." Everything I did seemed to work. I was spending 4 hours a day—before anyone knew I was in the office—in His presence, reading His words, waiting for His voice, lost in His presence. It was amazing.

I spent days with my dad so my mom could go to work without fear that he might suffer a terrible accident alone, with no one to help him. I had given up everything and my dad was dying horribly and predictably.

And I didn’t know I could be offended at God.

It took time and several failures, including some that looked like amazing successes, but I've been through the fires and not been burned. I’ve been through the floods and not been overwhelmed. I know He is working all things together for good so that I can become more and more like Jesus. Be encouraged with this Negativity Fast Reflection - I Trust God With My Broken Dreams.

I trust God with my broken dreams. I trust in His divine retribution for what the enemy has stolen. I trust He’s changing me with the loss.

What is a negativity fast?

A negativity fast helps you take every negative thought, word, action and emotion and make it obedient to Christ.

What you do on a negativity fast

You...

• ...replace negative thoughts words and actions with God’s thoughts, words, and actions. You do this with your whole heart - your decision, your actions and your emotions.
• ...fill your thoughts with God’s thoughts for you. You meditate on His promises and His testimony instead of ruminating on your problems.
• ...chose to give thanks always with your whole heart. You decide to give thanks. You feel gratitude and you show appreciation for what you feel gratitude for.
• ...abstain - as far as it depends on you - from negativity in your everyday world, recognizing your only control what goes in and comes out of you, with Holy Spirit’s help.

What you don’t do on a negativity fast

Don’t keep everything the same in your every day life. Draw close to God. You’re seeking Him. So congratulations you’re going to find Him

You remember that Holy Spirit empowers you accomplish every good work prompted by faith. It’s His power that enables transformation in your life.

What to expect

Even though you’ll be given every chance to choose negativity and even though you may find yourself more negative than ever at the start of negativity fast, change does happen when you stick with it. Synapses get rewired in our mind. Gratitude does its transformative work. Holy Spirit finishes more of the good work He’s started in us. And we feel more like we’re walking in the garden in the cool of the day with our Creator.

Today’s Reflection:

Quietness and trust is my strength Reflection

Repentance and rest is my salvation. Quietness and trust is my strength. I govern my anger anytime I am provoked and patiently bear out the anger of others, even when it’s been misplaced on me. My gentleness is evident to all. I trust God to fight my battles. I take up my position, stand firm and see the deliverance of the Lord.

How have I been responding to anger lately?
