self-talk

Sometimes i don't get it. sometimes i feel so weak. You say you love God. That yes, God is most important. but then why don't you live like he is? Why is it so hard to be patient. To wait, to sit, and to be with God. it really is simple. But yet your anxious heart runs violently after self-destroying idols. They do not satisfy your deepest desire. Yeah they might cure your present ache temporarily. But these cravings and lusts won't fulfill the deep longings that your soul really thirsts.

chris sometimes you rely too much on yourself. Rely and trust in God. God always comes through with what's best, even when it doesn't seem like it. God disciplines those he loves. God is patient and merciful. Hear Him call. Hear Him speak. He's drawing you to Himself. Quiet your soul. Empty yourself and fill yourself with Him. In Him there is nothing but light. He is full of love and peace. He doesn't accuse nor condemn. He delights in you. See yourself the way He sees you. Remain in Him.

“Be still, and know that I am God" -Psalm 42:6

 Jesus answered, “Everyone who drinks this water will be thirsty again, but whoever drinks the water I give them will never thirst. Indeed, the water I give them will become in them a spring of water welling up to eternal life.” -John 4:13-14  In peace I will lie down and sleep,
   for you alone, LORD,
   make me dwell in safety. -Psalm 4:8

  “Come to Me, all who are weary and heavy-laden, and I will give you rest. Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. -Matt 11:28

God,
make me the person you want me to be. transform and change my heart, renew my spirit. im lost without you. humble me, and diffuse my negative talk. I want to come back to a heart of worship. Help me to love. help me to find rest in you. consume me, break me, mold, and shape me. So often i feel empty and tired. Fill me and be my strength. Strengthen me and use me to bless and serve others. Fill me with joy once again. Fill me with a burning desire. Help me to move my faith into action. And to draw from your well. You are the one who replenishes me. You are a God who heals, delivers and restores. Be my shield in the midst of pain, suffering or hurt. Remind me that you are always near. Whisper your loving kindness. Fill me with the presence of your Spirit. Help me to be more disciplined and to use my time more wisely. Also please help me to pray for others. May you receive all the glory and may your will be done. Amen,
