Taking Control

"Have you realized that most of your unhappiness in life is due to the fact that you are listening to yourself instead of talking to yourself?"
Martyn Lloyd-Jones Spiritual Depression


And what do we say to ourselves? Start with scripture - speak truth to yourself - affirm your dependence on God, your need for God and your confidence in God.

Lamentations 3:39 - Why should any living man or any mortal offer complaint in view of his sins?

Find your way at the foot of the cross of Christ - every day, every day.

Charing Cross in London is one of twelve crosses erected in the year 1291 along the burial route of Queen Eleanor en route to Westminster Abby. The procession stopped and rested at each cross. The original cross became dilapidated and in 1865 was replaced and erected at nearby Charing Cross Station. The original site of the cross was at the exact center of London. All distances were measured from the Charing Cross.

Years ago, a little boy, lost in London, was asked by a cabbie, "Do you know where you live?" The boy said, "No." The cabbie asked, "Do you know where you live from Charing Cross?" and the little boy said, "Yes. If you take me to the cross, I can find my way from there."

We can all find our way back from where ever we've wandered by starting at the cross.
