So I open up my calendar this afternoon and I flip to the quote of the day and it is this: "If you've been settling for much less than what God has promised you in His Word, it's not too late. Start expecting God's beauty in your life. Ask Him to help you realize just how precious you are to Him."
Expect God's Beauty. In every aspect of life. Wow! How difficult that seems for me. But oh how much easier and more pleasant life would be if I could. Truthfully, right now I feel stuck. Feel discouraged. Feel scared. Feel sad. Feel confused. So, what should I do?
Oh, God, how it hurts to the deepest parts of my soul. What is wrong with me? Why can't I just be happy? Why can't I see your beauty? God, I need You in ways I don't even know I need You, but You already know that. God, I want to want to know You more, but the truth is right now, I don't. I can't even form a complete thought in my head without it taking off to another place. God, change my want to. Let me feel Your Love deep inside. Help me to know I am precious in Your Sight. Help me surrender the control I try to have on my life. Empty this broken vessel and fill me up with more of You. In your sweet name I pray...Amen

Hi Kim! I just had to comment on your blog. I too have struggled with fear. The Lord has brought this to my attention also. Things are a lot better for me in the faith area. I have really needed to know deep in my heart the depth of Jesus's love for me so that I can trust Him. There was some healing to take place. I now choose faith and not fear, and it is not an emotion. It is a choice..but with the choice comes joy! If you are visual like me this might help...decisions made out of the front part of your brain (forehead area) are faith based, and decision made out of the back part of your head are fear based. If you find yourself trying to figure something out and trying to manipulate the situation etc then that probably means you are living in the back part of your brain and functioning in fear and not faith. It's amazing how science is proving the truth of the Bible. It's the truth and always has been but I believe this is just one more way God is communicating to us that what He says is to be trusted!!! Blessings on your journey my new friend!
