Direct my footsteps according to your word; let no sin rule over me.~Psalm 119:133
All I want to do today is have a date with my pillow. I don't want to cook, clean, or shop. I just want to be still. That’s what I want. Then the thoughts of if what I should be doing invade. Like, “ You should be preparing a meal for your husband ( who is absolutely great).” What do I do with that. Is this guilt, which is not from God or conviction from my spirit seeking to put me on the right track?
I am analytical by nature and thus could battle this within my mind for a minute or two. I could get twisted into knots, but I’d rather seek the answer from God. At the end of the day my desire is to please Him. I can trust Him to guide me to the right choices for this day. I can trust that there is no condemnation in Christ Jesus. I can look to His word.
Father, give me a heart that perseveres. A heart that seeks your word and will in every situation. May I study your word, understand it and do it. May my desires be directed by You. Order my steps in your word and let me not lean to my own understanding. Let no sin rule over me. Not laziness, selfishness, addiction to TV, pride, strife or anything that would seek to rob me of peace with You. Keep me humble and before your throne. May I sit at your feet, hear your voice and follow You. Forgive me for my sins and those times when I do miss the mark. I thank you for your grace, mercy, and love. In Jesus name. Amen
After writing this post, I got up and told my pillow I would check in with it later. I decided to go out beyond the walls of my house to see what assignment He had for me today. He never fails. The assignment was in the form of three small adorable children. I thank God for hearing my prayer and directing my steps. Now I can truly rest. Pillow here I come 😊
