Hesed

Dear Lord God (3 in 1),

I confess I have kept you at a distance.

In the mornings I awake and go to FB, ESPN, CNN, and Gmail. I used to go to Your Word and pray... When I go about life avoiding You I get selfish, work becomes anxious, I have a confidence that is superficial -I mess things up!!! I become sin-heavy: uneasy, restless, mad at myself. The Deceiver gets loud and through it all I feel less than a child of God. 

No self-help or stern discipline caused a shift in me today. Father Your loving-kindness this morning drew me back to You. I need You not my computer. Lord, may I ask this day according to Your will and be content regardless. Father you gave me your Son! The Lord Jesus who breaks all bondage has me drawn near to You -what mercy. He is why I am writing now. His blood and righteousness are my remedy. Help me to live in Jesus' grace and know His peace, because the whole of my sin He did pay for.

Holy Spirit draw me to Christ. Call me back to You, reel me in. O Counselor of Truth, you are my wise blessed guide. There is sweet sanctification at work in me at all times because of Your sealing! May your Spirit illuminate Scripture to my hardened heart. Let this temple of the Holy Spirit reflect the Son once again.

In Jesus' Name.
