I've been in another little spiritual slump lately. This past week I've been too busy to get my morning quiet time. But this morning I got up extra early to listen to Christmas music and enjoy a roaring fire in the fireplace. Ahh, now this is peaceful...I've been struggling a bit as a step dad. I haven't had the trade mark Coach Sam patience when I should have. This morning I'm going to start getting my act together again. (with God's help)
I realize I am nothing apart from my creator. I certainly won't be able to get through this slump without Him. When I try to do things on my own, I fail miserably. I need Jesus. The Enemy wages war against me 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
Dear Heavenly Father,
Lord I love You. I need You... Help me be more patient, loving, kind, and gentle. Help me to be more like You, my King. Give me a heart for reaching out to the hurting. Give me the gift of mercy, Lord.
Father God I am a wretched sort. I slip and fall continuously. Purify my heart, Lord. Renew my mind, Father. By the power of the Holy Spirit I know it is possible. I believe in You, Jesus. Thank You Lord for coming down as a little baby and living among us. Thank You for saving the world.
God, You're an awesome God...! I pledge my life to You, Jesus. You have set me apart from the world and blessed me more abundantly than I could ever have hoped for.
I thank You, Love You and Praise You. And I pray these things in Jesus' name, Amen.
