Bit by bit, seconds draw into minutes minutes draw into hours, hours - days, days - weeks, weeks - months and bit by bit time tics away and before you know it a month has gone....
Sometimes situations whether good or bad threatens our relationship with God. Well, let me speak for myself; situations sometimes pulls me away threatening my focus of seeking and serving Him. My faithfulness is tested and before you know it a week has gone since I spent quality time with my God. My maker. The longer it lingers the less I want to go back, because the thought of all the days gone by, just fills me with all kinds of thoughts and emotion... A feeling of wasted time and regret.
Sometimes many things contend for my attention, turning me away from my utmost goal. In times like this I literarily feel like I'm not even living, empty, or like a shadow of myself. These things or situations may not even be serious it might just be tiredness from a long journey, or subtle procrastination. And before you know it... Time is far spent.
In times like this I feel or ask myself. Is my faithfulness being tested? Or am I being tested on any scale? Well, whatever it is I have decided that whatever comes to shake the foundations of my relationship with God. No matter how the way or form, I have come to rest in His the power of His word In Psalm 34v19-Many are the afflictions of the righteous: but the Lord delivereth him out of them all.
And when The Lord is calling me back to Him, throwing opportunities at me I should answer immediately, for it might be costly to procrastinate.
PRAYERS
Dear Lord thank you for promising to deliver me whenever I am being afflicted. I confess that many times our relationship is tested and many times I don't remain faithful but please Lord forgive me for putting you aside and perusing my own interests. Forgive me when I don't put in my best and serving you conditionally.
But please Lord grant unto me the grace and wisdom to serve you under any condition or circumstance. Help me when I'm being pulled in many directions to stay focused in You.
Thank you for Your redeeming love for your faithfulness, and steadfastness that I can always count on. That You for arms open wide each and every time to receive me. Thank you for your Love that I can always count on. And for the promise that You will never leave me or forsake me. I bless Your name. Thank you Lord. For on Jesus mighty name I pray. Amen
