‘I am on the verge of collapse, facing constant pain. But I confess my sins; I am deeply sorry for what I have done. I have many aggressive enemies; they hate me without reason. They repay me evil for good and oppose me for pursuing good. Do not abandon me, O Lord . Do not stand at a distance, my God. Come quickly to help me, O Lord my savior.’ Psalms 38:17-22
I believe that in order to get our full attention, God will allow situations that seem hopeless for us, in order for us to put our hope ONLY in Him!!
God wants us to go to Him, first and foremost, for the solutions we seek.
The problem is that I find myself trying to please people more than wanting to please God. And I think most of the time this is why I find myself in the jam to begin with.
How do I live my life so that the posture of my heart ❤️ is always submitted to our loving and compassionate Heavenly Father?
I’m finding the more I am in God’s word that my mind seems to be centered on God’s will and I tend to see things with a more submitted heart.
I find that when my thinking goes contrary to what the Bible says that it doesn’t take long for my mind to snap back to God’s will.
2 Corinthians 10:5 NLT
“We destroy every proud obstacle that keeps people from knowing God. We capture their rebellious thoughts and teach them to obey Christ.”
The only way I find myself capable of doing this is by being in the Word of God as often as I can, not out of obligation but out of my love and gratitude for what Jesus did to wipe away my sins and giving me life everlasting.
Heavenly Father, I come to you as a humble servant with a submitted heart ❤️, open and sensitive to the prompting of Your Holy Spirit. Help me to see those around me with Your eyes, with grace, compassion, and forgiveness. Being a beacon of hope to those around me. Willing to take action to help those in need. I pray this in the name of my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, Amen!! 🙏❤️
