Welcome to Day 13 of your 21-Day Challenge
Lesson 13: Accumulate Inspiration
Lesson 13: Accumulate Inspiration
Today you will start to accumulate what I will refer to as “spiritual arsenals” to help extinguish the “mental land mines” that can build up overtime. A physical land mine is an explosive mine laid on or just beneath the surface of the ground.
We can develop “mental land mines” that build up from stressful situations, unresolved differences, unforgiveness, and past hurts or disappointments. If you have strong emotions tied to any of those things, they can become like a land mine waiting to explode.
Have you ever exploded with an outburst of anger?
If so, what triggered the outburst? There is always a trigger. A trigger could be as simple as emotional aggravation. We are more susceptible to triggers when we are fatigued, stressed, or frustrated about something.
Below is a list of some of my favorite scriptures paraphrased and positive quotes for your reference.
