Take this fainted heart Take these tainted hands Wash me in your love Come like grace again

Even when my strength is lost I'll praise you Even when I have no song I'll praise you Even when it's hard to find the words Louder then I'll sing your praiseI will only sing your praise

Take this mountain weight Take these ocean tears Hold me through the trial Come like hope again

[unfalteringlight]

Let your eyes look straight ahead;    fix your gaze directly before you. Give careful thought to the paths for your feet    and be steadfast in all your ways. Do not turn to the right or the left;    keep your foot from evil.

Proverbs 4:25-27

11 He has made everything beautiful in its time. He has also set eternity in the human heart; yet[a] no one can fathom what God has done from beginning to end. - Ecclesiastes 3:11

it’s been a great season of victories in many regards. However, i find myself staring up at the mountain in front of me and cowering at its magnitude and difficulty. there are many things i need to start getting rolling but i am unable to because i am overwhelmed by worries and the sheer magnitude of the things that need to be done. 

in addition, it feels like there has been a lot of spiritual warfare lately not just in my life but in those around me. i am worried about my friends but am trusting in God and am praying continuously for them. but the funny thing is, why can’t i do that for myself? why am i sitting here allowing the warfare bombard me and take me down lower and lower?

Do not be slothful in zeal, be fervent in spirit, serve the Lord. Rejoice in hope, be patient in tribulation, be constant in prayer.  - Romans 12:11-12

i will build my life upon Your love

it is a firm foundation

lately, i’ve been struggling a bit with truly loving those who have hurt me. feelings of pain, bitterness, and anger surface which are not feelings i often feel, especially toward peers. 

God, help me to find peace and healing in this relationship. Help me to see clearly situations and not through the lens of the hurt.

today i find myself overcome with that all too familiar feeling of my heart being squeezed into a pulp. as i approach tomorrow, i am overcome with fear and worry. 

14 Since then we have a great high priest who has passed through the heavens, Jesus, the Son of God, let us hold fast our confession. 15 For we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but one who in every respect has been tempted as we are, yet without sin. 16 Let us then with confidence draw near to the throne of grace, that we may receive mercy and find grace to help in time of need. - Hebrews 4: 14-16

lent reminders to self

anytime you feel overwhelmed, stop and pray. no matter where you are and what you are doing

anytime you think something negative about yourself, pray for someone else

keep up with proverbs and devos

no streaming videos, checking social media before bed and after waking up during weekdays.. instead, catch up on books and spend time with G-sus

God

This week is one of those where in my heart all I can say is “God” because I don’t know what to pray for and how to pray... in hopes that just praying His name will shine some light into my heart.

the wrestle between self loathing and knowing that we are God’s creation

faith

i want a faith that is my own.

faith where i don’t feel like i’ve failed because i don’t conform to what the mass indicates what being a mature christian or being faithful is

faith that isn’t driven by the eyes of those around me

faith that is so continual and firm like Daniel who had to do nothing differently for the King to come to believe

faith where i can chase steadily after God in the way that he wants me to

faith where i don’t feel ashamed and weak because my path is slower or different from another’s

timely

it’s been a few days that i’ve spent some time with Jesus other than the occasional conversations in my head with Him

as i usually do when i need a quick devo before i begin work, i opened up My Utmost and read today’s post. after just reading the title, i couldn’t help but to smirk.
