"Dear God,
I always put it on my heart to seek you first, and seek the kingdom of God, knowing that you will provide for me. You have so far, I am school captain, I am doing well at school, you have provided everything. But I still feel dissatisfied. I get pressured, I live in a society where everything is about want. More more more!
You give peace, please give me peace now, peace that I may not understand, but that comes from the fact that you are God, and I am not.
Help me to dispel my worries, help me to get rid of sin, help me to become more and more like your son. Help me WANT to become more like your son.
I give my life as a living sacrifice to you, knowing that you know me better than I know myself, and you will ensure my life is lived to its fullest, real fullness. of Godliness, holiness and all for the glory of you.
Thank you for your love. Thank you that you ARE love. Thank you that you showed this love in sending your son to die for us, so I can now pray to you like this now.
Let this prayer and my whole life be lived for your glory.
In Jesus name I pray,
Amen"
"You're an idiot.
I'm busy, you're the one who is on holidays.
Get out of my room, go away, I don't want to help.
I love feeling important. I want that new TV. Why do they get more than me?
I just want to fit in, who cares about anything else. its just a joke!
I have to go (I just don't want to talk to you).
Bye"
Yes, there is a big difference. I don't want I would do if I didn't have prayer and the knowledge the Lord is with me on my daily walk of life.
ReplyDeleteBlessings to you!
I really love this post. It is so true to how humans contradict themselves. I find it very inspiring.
ReplyDeleteI hated it, but I saw myself in this post. "I’ve tried everything and nothing helps. I’m at the end of my rope. Is there no one who can do anything for me? Isn’t that the real question?
ReplyDeleteThe answer, thank God, is that Jesus Christ can and does. He acted to set things right in this life of contradictions where I want to serve God with all my heart and mind, but am pulled by the influence of sin to do something totally different.”
