Simple God


  • I want (in my mind at least) to spend time with you, but some things stop me.
    • I do not know what to read, what to write, what to listen to.  I want you to meet me where I am at.  But there have been times that spending time with you was dry and boring.  I am scared of that happening again because that makes me mad at you.
      • But if I go to you in desperation, knowing that I need you more than anything, wanting to pray for people- then you should meet with me, right?  There may be a lot of silent sitting...


That is how I want to feel everyday.  Desperate for you.  Spending time with you is the most important and best thing in life.  Yet there are still somethings that hold me back.
   

  • The world pulls me away.  I would rather get other stuff done, rather go do something fun.  My flesh too- I do not want to sit and get quiet, to become vulnerable by placing my heart at your feet.
    • These are good things to recognize as distractions and to resist.  But only through the Spirit's help.

I don't have the answers.  I desperately need God's help.
