As
soon as I awaken each day my mind is bombarded with unresolved problems; there
is never a shortage of them. My first inclination is to share my anxiety with
others, yet I know the answers are not there. Turning to the wrong source will only
deepen my sorrows; so instead I will cast my cares upon Him who cares for me
like no one else can. I will throw myself headlong into the nail-scarred hands
and rest in the knowledge that His love never fails. Lord, I yearn for Your
consoling voice and towering wisdom. Instruct me from Your limitless knowledge
and strengthen me with Your benevolent power.
A serious pursuit of godliness requires an equally serious renunciation of worldliness. Too often, we measure spirituality with false scales. While being wisely selective with our public vices we are less so with our private attitudes and perspectives. In reality, it is the thoughts and intents of the heart where the greatest battles must be waged; our actions will ultimately align with the condition of our hearts. Lord God, You know me inside out, You are not fooled by human facades. Plow my heart with Your Word and Spirit and leave nothing unturned. Refresh my inward man that I may outwardly glorify You in all places at all times.
