How quickly are you offended or irritated?
So many Christians accumulate knowledge and seek spiritual experiences, yet don't really know how to live.
We all need to be being changed. All the time. The prayer life must be about being more like Him and about praying for others rather than focusing on fixing or gaining.
Soldier of The Cross, what last sent you into a spin? How did you pray for that person or situation?
We all need to be reminded of the basics:
This world is not my home;
I need to be changed;
I can choose my thoughts and do not have to listen to whatever comes into my head;
I can't make it happen if it is not of the Lord;
I need to be changed;
God's Word makes it clear that I must not harbor anything against anyone - I don't have to be chummy, but in prayer and by faith I must move forward and forgive even if I know the relationship is done;
Did I mention that I need to be changed?
What do you want? Who do you want to be like? Who has that Power?
The Word washes. And it is “. . . a lamp unto my feet and a light unto my path. . . " (Psalm 119:105)
It feels hard, but it is a process by faith and in prayer. Agreeing with God is such a release.
Tell Him. Aloud
