The Voices in Our Heads

I was reading a book recently and also noticed in a movie I was watching how we ladies pass judgment on one another. We are all aware of these judgments so therefore the little voices in our own heads is sometimes ever present...whispering---sometimes screaming. Because of these noises in our heads, we then allow guilty feelings to overwhelm us, we worry about what others will think or say, we second guess our decisions all in trying to live up to what we think others think of us. 

When these voices come, we need to block them out and listen closer to the still small voice of the Lord. Maybe we even need to stop, step back and take a moment to regain ourselves. We need to remember that other ladies are not the ones whose standards we must live up to...it's God's first and foremost and then our husbands if we are married, and then our children. It's not our friends, our extended family, our neighbors, or even our fellow church members that should drive our decisions. I'm aware that all this is easier said than done but it is something we must strive to accomplish. 

Spend time reading your Bible, talking with the Lord and seeking guidance from Him about even the smallest decisions in your daily life. This will help you better block out the voices whispering and sometimes screaming in your head! Practice this anecdote and it will get easier each day!
