Freed

Bob Goff's facebook status today reads "figure out today what you are most afraid of, then ask God to give you courage to decide you're not anymore."

This Wednesday, Lord, I am asking you to take away my fear of loneliness.

Lord, let me set a apart from this fear--let it be crucified in my life--let me live in the fullest way You intended. Let me give freely. Let me lay down my life daily, Lord Jesus, to live fully abiding in seeking to help the least of these. Take away any unneeded fear or doubt. Let me life and learn to love fully.
I'm in awe of what you did on that cross, oh my Jesus! I know that the gospel of Jesus that I follow and chase after sets me free of fear. That's what's good.

In terms of a lifelong spouse, my life's advocate, my other half of life's wild caper:
God, I trust in you. I ask that you will choose my husband for me. I just pray that I would know it when you do.

This season which started as painful grievance of a future lost has been redeemed by the hand of God to a season of newfound freedoms in dependance on Him. Lord, thank you for continuing to teach me. I'm all in to know your ways, I'm all in to know your teachings, I'm all in.
I set my heart and mind on things above.

"It is written: "I believed; therefore I have spoken." With that same spirit of faith we also believe and therefore speak, because we know that the one who raised the Lord Jesus from the dead will also raise us with Jesus and present us with you in his presence. All this is for your benefit, so that the grace that is reaching more and more people may cause thanksgiving to overflow to the glory of God. Therefore, we do not lose hear. Though outwardly we are wasting away, yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day. For our light and momentary troubles are achieving us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all. So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but what is unseen. For what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal." -2 Corinthians 4:13-18 Amen.
