Give Me Singleness of Heart, God. I’m So Distracted

Give Me Singleness of Heart, God. I’m So Distracted

| 0

Father, Your greatest commandment is that we love You with all of our heart, soul, mind, and strength. With my entire being, I love You, Lord! Yet, I am struggling with distractions in my devotion. My singleness of heart is being challenged by difficult places.

You are worthy of all my love. You are worthy of all praise. You are my Lord, but my time with You is constantly being interrupted — many times by my own choices. This is not what I want.

Where is God When Circumstances are Difficult?

Dreaded feelings of captivity washed over me while I tossed and turned. I pulled the covers tighter as the nightmare consumed me — the imaginary chains yanking on my ankles, keeping me bound in dark and painful circumstances.

I Am Hidden in You, Jesus, in Your Secret Place

Lord, You are my shelter, my refuge, my strong tower above the enemy. You have hidden me in You, Jesus, for it is no longer I that live, but Christ that lives in me. When Father God looks on me, He sees You, Your righteousness … He sees me as His daughter who wears His robe of righteousness.

Because of You, Jesus.

Help me understand this. Help me understand Your covenant that makes You my God and makes me Your child. Forever.

Why Were These Menacing Clouds Stirring My Spirit?

I rounded the curve along the row of hemlocks and pulled my hood over my head. The drizzle was changing to a cold rain. Clouds hung heavy in the menacing sky as, step-by-step, I made my trek along the dirt road. Pondering. Reflecting. Why were these menacing clouds stirring my spirit?

Frustration shrouded my thoughts because I had fallen asleep during my quiet time. Yes, I was worn out and needed rest. But my quiet time with Jesus is where I garner strength.

In the Wilderness You Teach Me Who You Are, Lord

| 0

O God, You are my God, early will I seek You. My soul thirsts for You, my flesh longs for You in a dry and thirsty land. Only You can satisfy the longing soul. Only You can search my heart and know my anxious thoughts … only You can give me perfect peace. In the wilderness place, You teach me who You are.

Never has Your love failed me. I have no need to fear the difficult places because You promise that Your presence will go with me and You will give me rest.
