Even when my strength is lost I'll praise you Even when I have no song I'll praise you Even when it's hard to find the words Louder then I'll sing your praiseI will only sing your praise

Let your eyes look straight ahead;    fix your gaze directly before you. Give careful thought to the paths for your feet    and be steadfast in all your ways. Do not turn to the right or the left;    keep your foot from evil.

in addition, it feels like there has been a lot of spiritual warfare lately not just in my life but in those around me. i am worried about my friends but am trusting in God and am praying continuously for them. but the funny thing is, why can’t i do that for myself? why am i sitting here allowing the warfare bombard me and take me down lower and lower?

it is a firm foundation

lately, i’ve been struggling a bit with truly loving those who have hurt me. feelings of pain, bitterness, and anger surface which are not feelings i often feel, especially toward peers. 

anytime you feel overwhelmed, stop and pray. no matter where you are and what you are doing

anytime you think something negative about yourself, pray for someone else

keep up with proverbs and devos

i want a faith that is my own.

faith where i don’t feel like i’ve failed because i don’t conform to what the mass indicates what being a mature christian or being faithful is

faith that isn’t driven by the eyes of those around me

faith that is so continual and firm like Daniel who had to do nothing differently for the King to come to believe

faith where i can chase steadily after God in the way that he wants me to

it’s been a few days that i’ve spent some time with Jesus other than the occasional conversations in my head with Him

as i usually do when i need a quick devo before i begin work, i opened up My Utmost and read today’s post. after just reading the title, i couldn’t help but to smirk.
