Stop listening, start talking
That's not the typical advice - at least for talkers like myself. Usually, I'm being reminded to keep my fat trap shut, and open my ears.
Karen Moritz said the opposite: Stop listening to all the noise in your head and start talking truth to yourself.
She had to go in her bathroom and talk to herself in the mirror: "Stop whining, stop being such a whimp, remember the God you serve, the One Who is almighty and loves to the utmost and is in charge. You are not in charge."
Yes, that's good talking. So much noise in my head - right there close to my ears - so I forget to talk myself out of fear and worry and whining. I think I'll go find my mirror.
She used this phrase in her closing prayer: "Help me submit under Your almighty care." Not just His almighty power - but, His almighty care. No One cares like He cares.
Now, where's that mirror?
