Lately I seem to be distracted by the business of life. I can’t quite put my finger on it. Last year I had so much free time that it was easy to focus solely on my recovery and my relationship with God. It was easy to stay connected and maintain an attitude of prayer throughout my day. For a season I was sheltered and protected from the business and conflict that often arise in life. It was easy to maintain my “perfect” recovery image.
But lately that’s not the case. I get distracted , I lose my cool, I’ve even made some poor choices. Why is it that 18 months into my recovery journey I still find myself leaning on my own understanding and strength while trying to control things? His word says that “a righteous man may have many troubles, but the Lord deliver him for all” (Psalm 34:19). I trust God and know that He is far bigger than all the trials that I face. So today, as I prepare for this day, I clothe myself in Him – the strength I need to make it through the day.
Father God, help me to hear your voice throughout my day. Guide me in your wisdom. I know that you are far bigger than all my problems and all the negativity that has crept into my mind. Today, renew my mind. I want to see you clearly, not just in this very moment, but throughout my day. Show me where there is sin in my heart, or anything that is pulling me in the wrong direction. Help me to turn my mind to you rather than try to face them on my own. I want to be clothed in you. Love, Me
