I have realized that people (myself included) tend to be comfortable with being miserable (whatever the situation may be). Odd wording, I know. But when you think about it, we know that our circumstances need to change and we could very well take the steps to change them, but the challenge at hand is scary as all get out and incredibly hard, so instead of being pro-active we don't do anything, thus we continue to be miserable, dare I say "comfortable with being miserable." Of course, we don't like being miserable, absolutely not, but we also fear gets in the way and we fall back. It's so frustrating to think about. It is my prayer that we would seek God for the strength we need and face the challenge head on. After all, Satan loves when we have the attitude of being "comfortable with being miserable". I pray that's plenty of motivation to struggle through the challenge and end in victory!!

"The truth is, God uses change to change us. He doesn't use it to destroy us or distract us but to coax us to the next level of character, experience, compassion, and destiny. I hate to display such a firm grasp of the obvious, but how will we ever change if everything around us stays the same? Or what will ever cause us to move on to the next place He has for us if something doesn't happen to change the way we feel about where we are? God is thoroughly committed to finishing the masterpiece He started in us (Phil 1:6), and that process means one major thing: change." -Beth Moore
