Many believers around the world have been greatly affected in their walk of faith because of tough situations at home. If you allow such situations to have control over you, then they will hinder your growth in the Lord. Therefore, if you are seeking an answer on how to start your day with God when life at home is tough, you will find encouragement in this article.
Know that God is not limited by our mortal situations. God is always greater than anything, and even the impossible is possible with God! All you need is to keep faith in Him who is able and faithful in all things.
You can victoriously start your day with God, even when life at home is tough, by changing the way you think through God’s Word with the help of the Holy Spirit. Philippians 4:8 says, “Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.” At the start of the day, set your mind on the good things that God has done for you in the past and stimulate your faith by remembering that your situation at home does not define who you are nor what your future will be. God can restore, deliver, and redeem your situation at home and bring salvation and healing to your family members. If you ever catch yourself thinking discouraging thoughts that make you feel sad about your family’s situation, simply pause, redirect, and get back to God’s thoughts in order to release those negative ideas from your mind.
Think of lovely things that God has done and will do for your family and worship the Lord God from the moment you wake up. No matter what is happening around you, start your day by worshiping and magnifying the power of God over all things. As His Spirit fills you up, you’ll naturally find yourself sowing the spirit for each of your family members by declaring who they really are in Christ Jesus. By doing this, you will reap a spiritual harvest and transform your family.
You only believe that life at home is tough when you think about it as a negative situation. However, when you think about how the Lord Jesus Christ is able to overcome this world and how Your Heavenly Father will surely take care of everything that matters to you, then you can start to believe that good things are coming for you and your family. In other words, change the way you think. That’s one of the best ways to victoriously start the day with God, even when life at home is tough.
