Jesus, be my center

Today I took part in a half night of prayer.... I didnt pray for half the night but i did pray for a solid hour. I dont think I have ever prayed that long. I dont think I have ever felt God more present in my life then I did tonight. He revealed to me so many things in my heart that have been holding me back from a solid firm relationship with Him. There are so many thing I have let take over my life and shape and define who I am. I want to be defined in Christ. I want Him to be enough for me. I dont want the things of this world festering around in my mind any more. I know that when the world is telling me one thing God is on the other side telling me not to listen. He is calling out my name for me to turn my ears to Him. This past week I have really had some big struggles in myself. I have been angry a lot and i have felt alone and stupid. Over and over I let it take control of my days. Over and over it shaped my attitude. OVER AND OVER I let satan take hold of my mind. Tonight I surrendered those things. TONIGHT God changed my mind. I know my anger is a sin, and that if I continue to let it define me i will not be able to let it go. I know that I am not alone. I know that Christ is right by my side. I know that I am not stupid. I know that I find wisdom in the Lord.

I am so thankful for the work that God is doing in me. I am thankful that I can write about it here for you to read. I am thankful that I have a God that is so much BIGGER then any of my problems.

"We can rejoice, too, when we run into problems and trials, for we know that they help us develop endurance. And endurance develops strength of character, and character strengthens our confident hope of salvation. And this hope will not lead to disappointment. For we know how dearly God loves us, because he has given us the Holy Spirit to fill our hearts with his love." Romans 5:3-5
