Mountains That Needs to Be Moved

        I am reading this book and there is a chapter in there that talks about Faith and it moving the mountains in our lives. The mountains are things, bad things, that keep us from moving towards and with God. They are things that block our Faith in Him and what He is doing in our lives or can do in it. I made a list of my mountains so I could pray for them to be removed every once in awhile. I think it is good to have that list so you can also be aware of them and look back when you are wondering why do I feel this way or what happened. Here is my list that I have started so far:


-Loneliness
-Regret
-Guilt
-Self/Pride
-Stubbornness
-Hopelessness
-Anxiety
-Self-doubt
-Being overwhelmed/busy
-Mistrust
-Fear of failure
-Other people

-Being in debt
         -I know this one seems like a little one but when you live by yourself it is a big one at times. You get so worried because you can't pay it off right away and it just keeps building up to where you never think you will be able to pay it off.

-"Now" moment
        -When I say the "now" moment this is what I mean: I mean when I get so upset because I have to repeat myself a lot of times or I don't stop and think how I am acting towards the children or what I am saying towards them. It might not seem like it is working at that moment but in the long run it does. You just have to wait for it. It is like I need more patience.

-Future
        -This one is a big one for me because I always look towards the future when really I should be looking at the present day and where I am right now and focusing on that. I should believe that God has the future in His Hands and that should be enough.

-Weakness
        -I know for me that weaknesses can keep me from doing a lot of things because I think I don't have the strength to do them or the ability.

-Excuses
        -Using excuses when I think can't do anything even without trying it at all. Excuses could be the easy way out of that hard thing that we need to do but don't want to do. It could help us but at the same time hurt us.
