If I want to worry less, I have to pray more. If I want to be consistent and steadfast in my faith, my trust must be in God alone. If I waver, it’s because my heart is not secure in Him. Life gets chaotic. I need wisdom for all kinds of decisions in so many areas of my life at the moment. Here is what I wrote in my journal yesterday about how I was feeling: Unsettled, restless- longing for more of the Lord, silent, yet clamoring inside my soul, alive spiritually yet dead exhausted. Mind continually wandering, so desperate for more focus. Lord, it’s the cry of my heart to have Your mind, heart and eyes for every area of my life. I want to be on board with You, where You are leading. May I live as a soldier, pleasing my Commander; may I live as an athlete competing according to Your rules; may I live as a farmer working hard and being patient in seeing my crops come forth(ie: teaching and training my children Your Word)
2 Tim 2: 4-64No one serving as a soldier gets involved in civilian affairs—he wants to please his commanding officer. 5Similarly, if anyone competes as an athlete, he does not receive the victor's crown unless he competes according to the rules. 6The hardworking farmer should be the first to receive a share of the crops.
2 Timothy 2:7 Reflect on what I am saying, for the Lord will give you insight into all this.
So, what can I learn from this? I am to glorify God. I am to keep my thoughts on Him and trust Him for all things.
You will keep in perfect peace him whose mind is steadfast, because He trusts in You. Isaiah 26:3
