I know that you are for me...

I have been struggling quite a bit lately with my mind, and the lies that fill it. In all kinds of ways such as, attacks against myself, with words that others say to or about me, with things that have happened in the past. I fight to now allow those thoughts to envelope me, and yet today I find myself struggling to the grasp the edge. Some events have led me to feel like I can't truly share myself in fear of it getting turned around and making me into seeming like a jerk. I hate that, and I know that everyone involved hates it too. Its an awful situation that the gospel does and will rectify.

How often I forget that even when it seems like all hope is lost, its not. Its the extreme opposite of lost, if I would just hold on my Savior will remedy it all, as He's paid it all as he hung on the cross.

Father, God, forgive me for being so consumed with the lies that are in my head. God forgive me for some of the ridiculous thoughts I allowed to bounce around in my mind instead of turning to You, and Your perfect word. God would I not lean on my own understanding and what I think is best, but that I would seek out You and Your perfect will, Father. That I would pause when a negative thought comes into my mind and would realize that that isn't bring you any glory or honor and that I would meditate on Your truth. Father, God, that no matter what may come or what I or anyone says Lord that I would never forget that I am Yours. That You are for me. That You aren't against me, ever, and even in that God that any evil that comes upon me had to be cleared by You first. And that You allow it not only for my good but You allow it to bring glory and honor to You. Father, how lightly I sometimes take the fact that I am Your child, how easily I forget what it means for me to be a daughter of The King. Father I pray that You continue to stir in me a renewed sense in just how precious it is to be Yours, and to know that no matter what may come or how hard it may seem, God that I'd always remember that You are for me and I am Yours. Amen
