Thanks – We're Struggling Together

Thank you so much for breaking the silence.

It’s been great to hear from some of you on your devotional life and what God is doing with you personally.  It’s a relief just to hear where we’re honestly at, isn’t it? You can read the comments here and some other ones here. I would love to hear more stories…so post away.   

In the meantime, let me share some of my struggles and lessons:

  1. I have to prioritize prayer and scripture reading every single day.  I’m tempted most days not to do it.  Wish that wasn’t true.  But it’s true.
  2. Confession is a discipline.  Asking for things isn’t. Time can slip by quickly when every sentence begins with "And Lord, please…".  It’s much harder when I start a sentence with "God, how would you change me when it comes to…"
  3. I would be a different person if I truly came to God daily asking Him to change me.  Mostly, I ask God to change or ask Him to change my circumstances.
  4. If I rested in God, I would be at peace.
  5. The best shot I have of overcoming my innate selfishness is daily submission to Christ and to his teachings.
  6. The purpose of spending time with God is not to do our ‘duty’, but to enter into a relationship whose foundation is love.  God really does love me (and you).  If I entered that reality every day, people would line up to know what I was on.

That’s me. Love to hear from more of you.
