In my weakness... he is strong.
I have been noticing a lot of weaknesses in my life lately... Loneliness is one of them. I struggle so bad with it.. God help me be content.

Kinda comfy, but not really... But in reality yes.
"But God doesn't call us to be comfortable. He calls us to trust Him so completely that we are unafraid to put ourselves in situations where we will be in trouble if He doesn't come through.”
the past two or three days I really have struggled with this...
Am I comfortable, and why do I want to be? And am I content with where I am at, so God can and has to be prevalent in my life. I honestly don't like the answer, but at the same time I love it. The answer is no I am not comfortable, and have not been for some time, but I also am not depending on God...
So where is the gap? Why am I struggling and staying out of my comfort zone if I am not going to submit to Him anyways? Am I not just decieving myself, or am I trying to make myself feel better about not following Him?
The other nit I had a dream that Christ came, He handed me the book, and my name was not there. All that was written was "many will say Lord, Lord..." you know the rest. I woke up sweating, it was the single most terrifying thing to in my gut... Ahh! To know I know Him, but I may not... Know Him. That is terrifying to me. The fact that when that day comes and I stand before the throne. I may hear "I never knew you" or "I know you, but where is the fruit? what did you do with my Son?"
Do I preach Christ... Much less Christ crucified. The one that put breathe in my lungs, and a song on my lips. Do I tell of His wonderous deeds? Am I unashamed? Cause if so, would I not give Him everything 110% not just 10%??
Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly, teaching and admonishing one another in all wisdom, singing psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, with thankfulness in your hearts to God. And whatever you do, in word or deed, do everything in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him. (Colossians 3:16, 17 ESV)

The believers Tourniquet
Therefore, confess your sins to one another and pray for one another, that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous person has great power as it is working. (James 5:16 ESV)
I write these things to you who believe in the name of the Son of God that you may know that you have eternal life. And this is the confidence that we have toward him, that if we ask anything according to his will he hears us. And if we know that he hears us in whatever we ask, we know that we have the requests that we have asked of him. (1 John 5:13-15 ESV)
Psalm 5:3
"My voice shalt thou hear in the morning, O LORD; in the morning will I direct my prayer unto thee, and will look up."
Nehemiah 4:9
"Nevertheless we made our prayer unto our God, and set a watch against them day and night, because of them."
(he prayed as well as took action)
Psalm 27:14
"Wait on the LORD: be of good courage, and he shall strengthen thine heart: wait, I say, on the LORD."
Romans 12:12
"Rejoicing in hope; patient in tribulation; continuing instant in prayer;"
Matthew 6:7
"But when ye pray, use not vain repetitions, as the heathen do: for they think that they shall be heard for their much speaking."
1Thessalonians 5:17
"Pray without ceasing."
these are just afew of the verses I found concerning prayer :)
I truly believe that this is the best way to constrain, and keep the devil back. To heal the wounds in our lives, the ones that maybe before seemed permanent. To take back the joy and life that Christ has always intended.
This is a privelege for us as believers, may we use it to its fullest extent. :)
