You know, I have been really busy this week. I took time yesterday to spend with God, just one-on-one rather than going to the morning Bible study group. I am glad I did this. I don't want to lose that closeness with my Father and I know that it is easy to let other things get in the way; even things that seem right can become a stumbling block. Since I was struggling emotionally, I thought it best to do what I did.
I ended up having a really good day after the fact and thank God for that. I started a new book Wed. night and I am a little over half way through it now. I am really enjoying it but will withhold the name of it for now. I am also starting day 6 of "The Purpose Driven Life" tomorrow. I am also doing the devotional that with it. This is a really good resource and I would recommend it to anyone that has yet to do it.
Everything else is just dealing with my "new" life and trying to make the best of it. God is really pulling through for me and giving me the strength to hold on and move forward. Every day is a new day and if I don't give it to God, every day becomes a difficult day. I have a lot of things weighing on my heart right now; but surprisingly, I have hope and peace that I know can only be from God. When I start to crack, I go to Him and He again, gives me peace. I am working on focusing on God throughout my day and in everything I do. I really notice differences in my behavior and my desires to do good for others out of love. It is amazing how just drawing close to God and learning to have an intimate relationship with our heavenly father will transform ones life. It changes how I view things as well as my own actions. I want to do for people, I want to help, I want to love. Thank You Jesus!
Prayer:
Dear Jesus, thank You so much for dying on the cross for me. I am so glad I serve a living God and one that will reveal Himself to me if I only ask. You are amazing! I am so blessed to know You and have a personal relationship with You! Please, use me Jesus. Help me to be a light to those that are hurting. Help me to welcome all without judgement Father. Help me to see everyone and everything through Your eyes. I love You so much and thank You for all You do for me. Continue to give me the strength I need to make it through each day, continue to bless my life and my family. Hold my family close to Your heart and let them know they are loved. Provide for their every need and touch them Father. Help them to draw close to You as well and provide them with strong Christians to help them in their walk so they stumble not. My faith and hope in You is all I have. I miss my children and my wife Lord, I miss them so much. Not knowing is the hardest part; please Lord, hold them in Your arms for me. Give them hugs and kisses for me and bless them. Thank You for hearing my prayer Jesus, I love You.
