Weak N Lose N The World

[lostchild]

23 year young female mother of 2 young boys trying to find her place in God's kingdom. I've been fighting to keep my mind and heart on God's words, trying to gain understanding of His words. My faith is lacking. I know this because I will hear a word and will be glad in that moment, and later on can't recall a thing about it. I have asked that my heart be changed, that His words fall on good ground and come to life so that I can walk in that word. But the things of the world keep me so busy. I'm trying to let go of the things, but my heart and my mind keep me going. But our Lord has His hand upon me. I know I feel Him all about me, guiding me, talking to me. I hear Him, I see Him working all around me, pulling me back in when I slip up and fall back. But the thing is, I don't want Him to have to chase me always. I want to show Him I'm here to stay. I just need to learn what's pulling me back and to old thinking habits, old talking ways, or have it always been here from the get-go. I don't know. I just want to be free. Any help will help.

"Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength.'" -Mark 12:30

Notice the three things that this passage tells us about how to love God. With all of our heart, our soul, and our strength.

The heart represents our emotions. The heart is a vital area of our bodies, and in order to let someone close to your heart you must let them get close to a very vulnerable part of you. You must be vulnerable to God. We must be who we are, and not try and save face with God because he already knows who we are on the inside. We must be willing to confide our deepest thoughts and feelings to Him, and we must show complete commitment.

Our soul represents our identity, who we are beyond our physical bodies. We must surrender our soul to Jesus, in other words, we must make our identity in Jesus.

Our minds represent our thoughts. How often do we think of God? Is every single one of our thoughts under captivity for Christ? Or do we have wandering minds that get us into trouble and produce no fruit for the Kingdom of God?

Our strength represents what we do. What are we able to do for God? Are we capable of giving more of our effort to Christ? Can we volunteer more, can we give more offerings, and can we study more about God, can we pray more? What are the things that we can do for him?

Heart, Soul, Mind, and Strength must all be united in following Christ. Personally, I know that all of these do not necessarily work together at the same time. When I first accepted Jesus into my life, he remained in my mind, and there was little emotional attachment. I put my strength into going to church and reading the Bible, and I was working on creating my identity in Christ. The more that I gave God my mind and strength, the more I discovered a greater love in my heart for him, and with that realization my soul identity followed.

I pray that you would get to know God on all of those levels. I pray that your personal relationship with Him would flourish and that you would be blessed by drawing closer to your Father in Heaven.

 

[believing]

God is with you - place your trust in Him and He will guide you through all things. May He bless you in strength, peace and joy. Being human we do stumble but He is always with us to pick us up and put us back on His path for our lives. God bless you.

I have asked God to honor your prayer request.

A Prayer For YOU….

Let’s Pray... God I ask in Jesus’ name, "Bless Me! Encourage Me! Supply all my need! Bless me with the desires of my heart that is the will of God for my life. Bless me with peace, excellent health, protection from all evil, much joy and happiness. God most importantly bless me with a real, true, undying love for You and the ways of God. May I come to Know You, Love You, and Honor You with my life.



Let the peace of God and the freshness of the Holy Spirit rest in my thoughts, rule in my dreams, and conquer all my fears. Jesus manifests Yourself to me and in me in ways that I have never experienced. Let my God given dreams become reality and my prayers be answered. Let my faith enter a new height in You. God all that I have asked of You in this prayer, do the same for all those I love, care about, and the one who wrote this prayer. In Jesus’ name I pray.â€
