My Relationship with My Lord

I was sitting at light house last night (Which is a group from our church) and we were talking about battles that we struggle with and one of them said that "When your relationship with God is strong then everything just falls into place and struggles are just easier." As I sat there and ponder that. I thought to myself. "Where is my relationship with my Father?" Well the answer to that is not good. Yes I read the bible a couple times a week but do I really apply to my life? Well some of it yes but not really. Am I praying all the time or just when I need him? Well I was just praying when I needed him not all the time and all day.

When my relationship with God is where it is growing and I am looking to him all day then that is what I am thinking about. Is what I am about to do for God or for my selfish desires? Am I doing God's work or am I doing it for myself to make me look good or feel good? Well i have now devoted my life 100% to God and I am going to make him my number one priority first then go down the line of other priority's.

You know I have been saved for most of my life and I am now 26 years old and just now getting it. I have known all this but never applied it to my life. It is sad really. How can I be the women I am suppose to be with out God. He is the one that will give me the strength to deal with life. Not myself. One of my favorite verses is Philippians 4:13 I can do all things through CHRIST who Strengthens me. That does not mean that Brandy can do all things but it means that I can only do all things with Christ for he is the one who gives me my Strength. Something I wrote in my Journal today was "My Strength is NOTHING with out GOD" That is something that I really want to keep my mind on.


Lord,
Thank you for your Strength and Compassion. With out you nothing is possible. Today I hand over everything in my life. I want to look to you in everything. You are my daddy and I want to treat you as that. Not just someone who is convenient when I need them but the one that I need the most and all the time.

I love you
Brandy
