Okay God... I love your moments... but you're killing me.
Here's the prayer to my devotions this week.
Dear Lord Jesus,
I am still so divided. I truly want to follow you, but I also want to follow my own desires and lend an ear to the voices that speak about prestige, success, popularity, pleasure, power, and influence. Help me to become deaf to those voices and more attentive to your voice, which calls me to choose the narrow road to life. I know this will be a very hard road for me. The choice for your way has to be made every moment of my life. I have to choose thoughts that are your thoughts, words that are your words, and actions that are your actions. There are no times and places without choices. And I know how deeply I resist choosing you. Please, Lord, be with me at every moment and in every place. Give me the strength and courage to live my life faithfully, so that I will be able to taste with joy the new life which you have prepared for me. Amen.

wow... that prayer blew me away.
not only is that awesome, but the song for the week is Prince of Peace, which is one of my favorite songs we sing at camp. thank you God for constantly keeping me on my feet and always loving me. thank you for the people you have put in my life. thank you for the good and bad influences. thank you for being you.
