In this moment.

My insecurities are tearing me apart...

It's in moments like these where you just have to fall to your knees and trust.

verse 1.

Today I begin a journey; a journey of patience, discipline and commitment.

I feel as though I'm on the cusp of a new era in my life. A life not guided by the worldly desires of my flesh, but a life guided by the glory of the all-powerful and merciful God.

I come before you today, a sinner, blessed to be called a saint. But by the grace of God, I am what I am.

This Christian life is a daily process; a daily commitment. Each day when I awake, I must pick up my cross and walk as my Lord Jesus walked.

I will shout for joy in the Lord and sing him new and praise-filled melodies for ALL the things, people and situations in my life.

With strings and loud shouts; I will play skillfully for Christ.

Psalm 119:9
How can a young man keep his way pure? By guarding it according to your word.

Jesus,
I pray that you would keep my heart pure and fully committed to you. May your will be done in my life, and may I understand that it is infinitely better to have momentary discomfort with the knowledge of what is to come as opposed to momentary comfort with a dismal and dark fate.

Thank you for this undeserved gift of LOVE and kindness you brought into my life, and may my eyes be forever on you, as you graciously lead me through this storm.
