| Ok I Give |
|
| |
Ok Lord,
I give up. I am tired of dancing and not listening to you. I am tired of trying to lead and not follow.
9:10 And they that know thy name will put their trust in thee; For thou, Jehovah, hast not forsaken them that seek thee. Whatever it is Lord, I will do. Wherever you tell me to go, I will go. Whatever you tell me to give up, I will say yes. 51:5 Truly, I was formed in evil, and in sin did my mother give me birth. 51:6 Your desire is for what is true in the inner parts: in the secrets of my soul you will give me knowledge of wisdom.
51:17 The offerings of God are a broken spirit; a broken and sorrowing heart, O God, you will not put from you.
So Lord I come to you now broken and with sorrow. I know that you said you would give me wisdom, Lord. I also know that all I really need to do is 16:20 He that handleth a matter wisely shall find good: and whoso trusteth in the LORD, happy [is] he. So as I have many times before give up and give everything to you. Lord I just hope I can be still enough to hear your words, and if not will you just make it happen the way that is Your will.
Thanks Lord |

I see such a desire to "reconstruct" yourself - to form yourself to be like the Jesus you met - reforming, renewing the mind, reconstructing yourself is a process -- 1 day at a time - line upon line, precept upon precept the Bible says - just revelation on 1 of those verses would so drastically change your perspective it would be amazing -- like so so so so many Christians today - they want to keep the pace "of the mind" and still have the work of God transforming them - sometimes God just won't do that -- He will do thing His way-- slow it way down in the mind and cherish the day, the lesson and the "reconstruction" process - like say for instance the transformation of a house and property- it just doesn't happen overnight-- floors to be redone- trees to be cut, gardens to be planted and all the while the "building" is going on - laundry has to be done, meals cooked and house cleaned-- bills to be paid -But still the house is changing ----- He has without a doubt started the "renovation" process in you -- and my oh my - the finish product! Wrap yourself around that for a day or two -- "He IS building me - He IS at work in me - and I AM slowing down. - You are a wonderful person -- don't let yourself forget that! A blessing to me. xoxoxoxoxo |

| Amen. And me too. |

Cheryl - Thanks. Yes trust can be a very good thing especially when in conjunction with surrendering it all. Praying for you too sister.
Mrs W - HA! Yes it would be nice to slow down in my own mind. I think it runs 200-300 words a minute and I can type a little over 100 WPM. When the bible tells me to be still, I just want to scream cause that is the hardest thing for me to do. It is funny when I used to commute 90 minutes to work I would listen to the bible on cd. Then if my mind would start to wonder I would start it over till I could listen. But to be alone and in silence and try to pray and listen, now that is hard. I really am trying so hard.
Bhek Thanks as you are to me. |

Hi, Becky.
It's hard; really hard to give in to God's will - especially when we're taught to take care of ourselves and stand up for ourselves. Sometimes it's the "being still" part that is much more difficult than the standing up. Trusting God - not people or ourselves - is a very difficult thing indeed. My prayers are with you, Becks! |

Good blog... thanks for posting it....
I remember when I was first born from above... and turned my heart over to the Lord completedly... HE led me to some prayers... through HIS plan to quiet my mind and empower me to focus. I did not as yet have scriptural understanding of some of the words used in them... but was led to read them and while doing so, when I recognized my mind was wandering... I was told to go back to where I remember reading last and continue again... I was led to do this until I could read these prayers all of the way through without my mind wandering. It took 6 months... for me to be able to read one prayer all of the way through without my mind wandering... but by then I was healed for life. I came to recognize I had, had a learning disability... and this was one of the ways HE healed me of such... and renewed the spirit of my mind... increased my faith, developed the fruit of self control and quieted my mind so I could learn to focus and listen intently. (seems to be in the doing a new pathway/grove was formed in my brain as well). Before this I must have had millions of thoughts coming in at once and could not focus on one of them.... much less understand and prioritize Since then... HE has made me calm within... and I am able to listen, focus, concentrate, prioritize with ease and....... when I meet those with ADHD am led to share this testimony of HIS goodness, His power and......... may you and those in need... be blessed according to HIS plan for you in the reading of it. bren |

Gene - thanks yeah being still is very hard for me. Fortunately today I did a lot of driving to the commissary and elsewhere. Even shot a game of pool at the old place. I am such a shark. HA
Bren -Thanks. Yeah I had to learn some of that through fasting. But I am still waiting for the good fast of longer than 3 days to come. I find my best discipline when I do. Once I actually made it for 21 days, Diet Dew and water and two broths. God sends it to me when I am ready. Then I can focus or hear what I need to hear, or pray. Yeah I am a little ADHD on everything . Thanks Sister chick appreciate it |

| Yeah.... I love to fast... but like you said, it has to be ordained.. He gives us something to fast for... and our ability to hear HIM during them is so precious, so powerful! |
