After I fell into the ravine (1977) my mind was consumed with what I could not do. It was shocking. I remember having a mouthful of asparagus. My jaw muscles just quit working. I couldn’t chew anymore. I had to spit it out onto my plate. I could no longer swallow anything that was caky. It just sat in my throat and wouldn’t go down. (note: I didn’t remember that I fell for 3 1/2 years ~ everything was a puzzle as my ‘couldn’t’ list got longer.

If you listen to yourself as you are speaking you will get a clue of what you really believe in your heart. “I can’t” is rooted in a mental roadblock. It is a rut that our thinking processes fall into. “I can’t” kills any motivation. 

Asaph was spiraling down in his thoughts. Psalm 77:10 says, “And I said, This is my anguish; but I will remember the years of the right hand of the Most High.”
