You thought you could control me..you thought that you could take precious moments away from my family and have me completely tied down to you. You thought that you had me in this vicious cycle of control. But there's one thing you didn't calculate into your plan. Greater is He who is in me than he who is in the world. I've got a Holy Spirit that dwells in me that, in God's compassion and mercy, has alerted me to this red flag in my life. You thought you could steal hours upon hours of my life and time away from reality? I refuse to live in the interactive world of technology when I could be living my life right here outside of your LED screen. I don't need you. I really don't. I only need a phone for emergency and work-related emails and nothing else. Sorry computer, I'm dumping you too. You never really had my best interests at heart, did you? Oh but don't think me a fool.. because I know these things are just tools that the enemy uses to distract and manipulate us. And as I let go of all these technology affairs, I am running to the only One who truly loved me throughout it all..Who He Himself wants me to persevere, to not get discouraged..and to keep trusting Him no matter what.
Lord Jesus Christ.. I need you to help me with this struggling issue of mine. Help me to live in reality instead of a virtual world. Help me to spend more time with you and less time with the world and social media.
I hate how it influences me and takes up SO MUCH of my precious time that could otherwise be spent with You.
And yes..I know I will get tested to prove that my faith is genuine in this area and to prove that I'm willing to step UP and not be a hypocrite when typing this out for the world to read.
I just need your grace, strength, love, and encouragement to pull me through. And anyone else who may be struggling with this same issue. Whether it be with technology/gaming/addictions/etc. You know every single one of them, Lord.
Please help them, too.
In the Name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, I ask these things..Amen.
I'm taking my life back from you, technology. You no longer have a hold on me anymore. And if anyone wants to join in, feel free to comment or simply 'like' this blog entry. Fight back. This world is not our home.
