The Screwtape Letters by C.S. Lewis

The 14 Habits of Highly Miserable People – the Art of Self-Sabotage

1. Be afraid, be very afraid, of economic loss. 2. Practice sustained boredom. 3. Give yourself a negative identity. 4. Pick fights.

5. Attribute bad intentions. 6. Whatever you do, do it only for personal gain. 7. Avoid gratitude.

8. Always be alert and in a state of anxiety.

PATH OF WISDOM: Ecclesiastes 3; John 16:33 Romans 8:28

Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. 7 And the peace of God, which surpasses all comprehension, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. Phil 4

BLAME IS ESSENTIAL FOR BEING MISERABLE 9. Blame your parents or anyone else. Be a perpetual victim. BLAME IS ESSENTIAL FOR BEING MISERABLE

PATH OF WISDOM- Rom 8:28 Recognize that God is still in control and whatever happens to you must first pass through the nail-scarred hands of Jesus.

THAT IS THE POSTURE OF FAITH. Dallas Willard– We’ll never find healing until we come to the place of saying, ‘God has done right by me’. THAT IS THE POSTURE OF FAITH.

10. Don’t enjoy life’s pleasures.

PATH OF WISDOM Ecclesiastes – 3:13, 5:18 Eat, drink, and enjoy the fruit of your labor.

11. Chase after every new gadget, toy and fad 11. Chase after every new gadget, toy and fad. Live with an “I want it now” mindset.

PATH OF WISDOM - Contentment Phil 4; 1 Tim 6 Hebrews 13:5-6 Let your character be free from the love of money, being content with what you have; for He Himself has said, "I will never desert you, nor will I ever forsake you,"

Contentment, or the lack of it is mainly A THEOLOGICAL PROBLEM.

Christian contentment is that sweet, inward, quiet, gracious frame of spirit, which freely submits to and delights in God’s wise and fatherly disposal in every condition. Jeremiah Buroughs

12. Glorify or vilify the past. Live in a world of regret.

PATH OF WISDOM Learn contentment and to trust in the Sovereignty of God. Develop 50/20 VISION – “What you meant for evil, God meant for good.” This is ultimately seen at the cross.

13. Find a romantic partner to reform.

PATH OF WISDOM Don’t do that. Marry a believer- 2 Cor 6:14ff

14. Be Critical

PATH OF WISDOM- Eph 4:29ff ; Eph 5:18ff

Phil 2:14ff Do all things without grumbling or disputing; 15 so that you will prove yourselves to be blameless and innocent, children of God above reproach in the midst of a crooked and perverse generation, among whom you appear as lights in the world…

The Holy Spirit filled life is the opposite of the Miserable life.
