"Let there be no filthiness nor foolish talk nor crude
joking, which are out of place, but instead let there be thanksgiving."
— Ephesians 5:4

Stop Saying “Hate" and Start Saying “Joy”
Adapted from the resource Power Thoughts Devotional - by
Quite often people use the phrase, “I
hate.” They hate driving to work, cleaning their houses, going to the
grocery store, cutting the grass, paying their bills, and on and on.
I think each time we say we “hate” something, it makes it harder for us to do it with joy the next time.
Start saying by faith that you enjoy those
things that are naturally more difficult for you to enjoy. Start saying
it in obedience to God, and soon you will find those things to be more
enjoyable.
We can talk ourselves into things and out
of things. You can talk yourself into despising something you need to
do, or you can have a good attitude and speak good words about it and
make it a lot more pleasant.
Prayer Starter:
Father, help me to agree with Your Word and begin talking myself into a
joyful life. Help me to speak life-giving, positive, and thankful
words. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.
