reaching to God for help - I need to remember!

If it is true that I behave like a toxic irritating inefficient employee at work, it is also true that my God is still Sovereign and keeps His great and precious promises. God is still extending grace and mercy. I am still His child and there is still a way to victory.

I need to remember...

His divine power has given us everything we need for life and godliness through our knowledge of Him who called us by His own glory and goodness. Through these he has given us His very great and precious promises, so that through them you may participate in the divine nature and escape the corruption in the world caused by evil desires.
(2 Peter 1:3-4, NIV)

Now for this very reason also, applying all diligence, in your faith supply moral excellence, and in your moral excellence, knowledge, and in your knowledge, self-control, and in your self-control, perseverance, and in your perseverance, godliness, and in your godliness, brotherly kindness, and in your brotherly kindness, love.

For if these qualities are yours and are increasing, they render you neither useless nor unfruitful in the true knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. For he who lacks these qualities is blind or short-sighted, having forgotten his purification from his former sins.
Therefore, brethren, be all the more diligent to make certain about His calling and choosing you; for as long as you practice these things, you will never stumble; ...
(2 Peter 1:5-11, NASV)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I need to always prepare myself and surrender to His Divine Nature.... filling myself with the knowledge of Him through consistent daily bible study and prayer.

I need to remember I was bought at a very precious price, God gave Himself/His Son for me,
and has conquered the grave - death - and the power of sin.

I need remember who's I am and to "stand up tall" with confidence in Christ and hold fast to my faith which will keep me from slipping and panicking.

I need remember my God is so great and to rejoice and turn my eyes and focus on all the good wonderful things that He has filled this day, this hour, this moment with - things that true, & honorable & righteous & pure & lovely & excellent. When I fill my mind and my mouth with all of these things I will not have time to look back or to the side and will keep my eyes on these things on my path toward righteousness and yield and allow God to do HIS WORK of perfecting me.

Lord hear my heart - have mercy and move on my behalf to wash me again and make me whole.
Thank you for your mercy that is without fail. Thank you Jesus that by your precious blood you have forgiven me and that you do not remember my sins and lawless acts. Thank you that, that work is a forever work. Thank you for the presence of the Holy Spirit drawing me in this very moment toward you and that by the same power that raised Christ from the dead I am being made holy that You are doing a work of sanctification in me. I thank you Father that you will see this to completion.

I choose to remember. I choose to thank you.
I love you and I choose to honor you with my attitude, my behavior.
I choose to extend kindness and love. (You Lord have given me good "customer service skills". I choose to employee these "skills" with EVERYONE treating each person regardless of who they are or what role they have in my life with kindness and respect as a "advocate" - a representative of both You my Lord my God as well as them listening carefully to their true needs/concerns and bringing those needs to you to take care of - doing what I can of course within the grace that You extend to me, but leaving the real work to You to accomplish.)
I choose to disregard and reject any bitterness, and pride in myself, and any doubt or insecurity, so that I may leave open room for you to dwell within me. Better yet, I ask you now to enter in and fill me so that there will be no place for any insecure doubt and no room for selfishness. Thank you God for your mercy, and for the Power of Your Love!
AMEN
