prayer request

[Simon_Templar]

I've been struggling lately with some of the things that tempt me in life.

On both sides of the ball, as it were... I have been having a hard time resisting temptations (ie failing) and I have also had a hard time being disciplined in doing the things I should be doing, praying, devotions, etc.

I covet your prayers

 

[Hentenza]

Praying for you Simon.

I would suggest we all consider that in an evil day, surrounded by evil, the likelyhood is we all have people praying to gods against us who are not God's.

We dont need to feel as though we are being asiled though. On the other hand its a day to humble ourselves before God, resting in the shelter of His hands

Brother God bless you

You are a true soldier of Christ so the battles will always be swift against you.

I will pray dilligently for you

 

[Criada]

Praying for you, Simon.

It's all of a piece - feeling distant from prayers, devotions, scripture and being attacked by temptation. The more we succomb to temptation, the less we feel like doing what we should. The more we don't do as we should, the more temptation strikes.

If you do nothing else, get a copy of the Bible on DVD or CD and just let the word wash over you to protect you. Put on your armour of God (leave the scriptures open on your bedside table and read and do before getting out of bed in the a.m.) and slay that dragon!

I find myself in the same patterns here and there.

I don't doubt we all have this problem.

I agree Content, the more you feed one side, the weaker the other becomes. The side that wins is the side we feed.
Makes me think I need to go & get some devotions done in some alone time w/ the Lord.
