There's nothing like bathing your mind at the start of every day reading God's word. It chases the blues away and builds faith even while you are unaware of it. I use the M'Cheyne Reading Plan in a computer-based bible. My wife uses it the old fashion way printed out with just her bible. I've done this for years and have major improvements in my spiritual life.Over the last year and a half, God has really been testing my heart, and I think part of the reason is to determine whether or not I have a true, genuine love for him. Possibly the other reason is to expunge anything I am not aware of, or would not admit to (such as the intense fear that he will not help me and my mother, and the fear that even though I believe in Jesus, perhaps I won't go to heaven because I don't know how to trust enough, or perhaps my faith isn't good enough and I'm not doing it properly). I am trying to work through it, but I can't without Jesus. Otherwise I will be divided and deluded and lost to the world. The more I strive to be good, the worse the opposition gets. I realized this last summer, and wondered what to do about it. I know he is watching me, but sometimes the lines of our relationship become crossed and muddy due to the world's lies. I really need God's comfort. That he will help me, through Jesus his son, get to heaven---but it is based on Jesus and their goodness, not mine? Because I feel so confused and mislead, sometimes. Still, I try to hang onto Him. I really need the Lord's help, because everything the world does feels so lonely and stagnant that I want to draw away from it.
Please pray for God to comfort me on all sides. Am I really saved in Christ? What all does that entail? Will God give my mother and I a miracle, or am I too terrible? Will he use me for extraordinary things, to his benefit, although I myself am small? Please pray for my mother and I about these things. Please let the Holy Spirit intervene for me, somehow. I wish God would talk to me! I want to love him more and do wonderful things through Jesus.
I feel so lonely for him sometimes.
God always planned to save you ... He has saved you ... and He will evermore save you.Over the last year and a half, God has really been testing my heart, and I think part of the reason is to determine whether or not I have a true, genuine love for him.

We want to move out of this city, because the politics of it are largely against God
We have been desperate for blessings for God, to really know and feel his presence in our lives
