Something only I'd find interesting...

So I made a decision to praise Him during difficult times. In my immaturity and pride I've taken much too long to come to this decision. I pray fervently that He gives me the strength and diligence to be a true man of God.

Please pray for my focus to remain ever on Him. That I would see with His eyes and love with His heart. That I would be uncompromising in my pursuit of Him and defiant in remaining pure. That I would find my self-worth and satisfaction in Him and Him alone. This is my prayer, my decision.

My life changed (again) when my friends David and Jesse Brackett died in a car accident. That day my dog Miko was killed by a coyote. My friend Ben was hospitalized for mental issues. I expressed my feelings of attraction to a woman at church who has since become involved with someone else. By all worldly standards I am nobody. But God has called me somebody.

It is difficult to see what is worthy in this world. I become so distracted by the lies of the enemy. When I am alone, I feel as if even the most eloquent encouragement means nothing. But I must praise Him. There is truth that is inarguable to me and it is the truth of salvation and His omnipotence that keeps me alive. Thank you Lord, because no matter what You are good and You have the best for me. Help me to remain in that. Thank you Lord.
