(1 Corinthians 15:58 NLT) So, my dear brothers and sisters, be strong and immovable. Always work enthusiastically for the Lord, for you know that nothing you do for the Lord is ever useless.
Today I feel the weight of responsibility as a husband, father, and even what one would consider a “Christian” ~ meaning I know in God there is joy and His joy is our strength but I guess selfishly I’ve been waiting on God to move in a certain area of my life and I have seen no movement. I try to move on my own and I feel something holding me, as if He is saying, “Wait.” Part of me wants to be free from all this spiritual growing and get on with my life. It’s not that I doubt His purpose in all of this but I feel I need a mountain top experience soon. The only thing I can do is “keep on keeping on” knowing that He is good and my deliverer is coming soon.
God, I pray that you will replenish me from the inside out. Refresh my soul and bring strength to my spirit so that I might endure to the end of this test. Also renew my mind for it is centered on self-preservation but your Holy Spirit reminds me that my salvation lies not in my hands but yours. Now help me do what feels unnatural and trust you with my whole life. Lord, give me your dream for my life. Allow me to glimpse the grandeur of your purpose and tell me how you have a plan for my life. Help me forget, just for a moment, all the other voices so that I will have a clear connection to the only one that matters in the midst of all of this haze. Lord, carry me away in your arms, even if only for a short while for I need to reconnect with you this day. I will wait upon you for you are my all in all and in you I am complete. Thank you Lord for making me your son for I am in need of nothing outside of you. Only in Jesus can I come to you and let my needs be known, thank you for that. Amen.
