My Loving father in heaven thank you for knowing me and loving me More than I deserve. Thank you also for listening to me in bad times and good. (1John 1:9, Isa 59:1-2) I know that I would rather fight you for things I don’t really want than to take what you give that I really need. So Give me a soul that Follows you and your direction, despite the Infection that at times goes unchecked within. (Rom 5:12) Thank you that in the bad times in the wilderness of my life that you are willing to Carry me even though at times I may not see it. (DEU 1:31) I pray that my eyes are shielded with godly glasses so that I am not led astray by them. (Psa 101:3) Let me stop revisiting the old man and stop being a slave to sin so I can be a slave of righteousness. (Rom 6:6, 18) This struggle with my infection weighs on me but I will prevail. (Rom 7: 14-25) Thank you for making me who I am and placing me where I am even if I may not understand you ways. And for Understanding my jumbled thoughts. (Jer 1:5 , Isa 55: 8-9) Amen…
1 John 1:9 If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us [our] sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
Isaiah 59:1-2 Behold, the LORD’s hand is not shortened, That it cannot save; Nor His ear heavy, That it cannot hear. But your iniquities have separated you from your God; And your sins have hidden [His] face from you, So that He will not hear.
Romans 5:12 Therefore, just as through one man sin entered the world, and death through sin, and thus death spread to all men, because all sinned–
Deuteronomy 1:31 and in the wilderness where you saw how the LORD your God carried you, as a man carries his son, in all the way that you went until you came to this place.
Psalm 101:3 I will set nothing wicked before my eyes; I hate the work of those who fall away; It shall not cling to me.
Romans 6:6 knowing this, that our old man was crucified with [Him], that the body of sin might be done away with, that we should no longer be slaves of sin.
Romans 6:18 And having been set free from sin, you became slaves of righteousness.
Romans 7:14-25 For we know that the law is spiritual, but I am carnal, sold under sin. For what I am doing, I do not understand. For what I will to do, that I do not practice; but what I hate, that I do. If, then, I do what I will not to do, I agree with the law that [it is] good. But now, [it is] no longer I who do it, but sin that dwells in me. For I know that in me (that is, in my flesh) nothing good dwells; for to will is present with me, but [how] to perform what is good I do not find. For the good that I will [to do], I do not do; but the evil I will not [to do], that I practice. Now if I do what I will not [to do], it is no longer I who do it, but sin that dwells in me. I find then a law, that evil is present with me, the one who wills to do good. For I delight in the law of God according to the inward man. But I see another law in my members, warring against the law of my mind, and bringing me into captivity to the law of sin which is in my members. O wretched man that I am! Who will deliver me from this body of death? I thank God–through Jesus Christ our Lord! So then, with the mind I myself serve the law of God, but with the flesh the law of sin.
Jeremiah 1:5 “Before I formed you in the womb I knew you; Before you were born I sanctified you; I ordained you a prophet to the nations.”
Isaiah 55:8-9 “For My thoughts [are] not your thoughts, Nor [are] your ways My ways,” says the LORD. “For [as] the heavens are higher than the earth, So are My ways higher than your ways, And My thoughts than your thoughts.
