Journal 3-13-14

Luke 22:42 – Father, if you are willing remove this cup from me. Nevertheless, not my will but yours be done.
Psalm 16:5 – The Lord is my chosen portion and my cup; you hold my lot.
Romans 12:2-3 – Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind. That by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect.
Philippians 4:8, 13 – Finally brothers, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable, if there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things.  I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.

            Savanah, I pray every day that God will take a strong hold in your life and not let you be taken to the limits just like I have. Everything I have done in my life started out o.k. and no big deal, something that grew into a cancer in my life. Satan tempts us with the most normal things and if we are not very careful to resist him, he will suck us under and cause much pain and hard times in the years to come. I can’t stress enough how important it is to stay on the straight and narrow. Read, pray, turn from sin, and surround yourselves with people doing the same.

Prayer: Father God, help us to recognize these things in our life that look o.k. but are a trap. Help us Lord to see the narrow road. Help us to know your will and give us the strength to make the right choices. Your will be done in our lives Lord. In Jesus name, Amen

Thoughts: Lately I have been feeling dry in my writing. Like the new is wearing off. For the last few months writing has become a release, a way to express myself. I don’t feel like I have much to write about right now but I continue to write because I feel like it is a responsibility I have to the few people who read it. I think lately my problem has been that I have been so busy writing and talking to God that I haven’t had much time to listen to Him. Just sit in the quiet and listen. I feel like we can get the same way in life whether you write or not! Do we ever take time to stop doing and just listen to what God has to say?
