Canceling the Party

"PARTY IS OFF!"

"Ouch!" #$@!#%^& ... 

So is the complaining of my soul. ;)

For when the Spirit of God within me calls off the pity party of my flesh, my flesh tends to grumble. But grumbling can not put at bay the worship that must come forth from within me!!!

Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. -Philippians 4:6 

Ya see, a hefty byproduct of my uncertainties and unanswered questions is anxiety and complaint and moan & groan from my head and heart and mind. I tend to wrestle with that which I don't know the answers to. "I feel so uncomfortable." When this is so, it's quite easy to choose to be unhappy from within. But today I choose truth! Today I choose to rise above. Today I will cast off my anxiety and present my requests unto The Almighty God. For I've been granted access to The King with reason... So that I may honor him in my dependence and grow in intimacy with Him.

So King, You see my life and all it's parts. You see my wrongs, mistakes, stubbornness, pride, and self-reliance. You see my fear. May your love flood, and run it all out. Help me to come to you and receive your love. For I know it's what I need. 


Such love has no fear, because perfect love expels all fear. If we are afraid, it is for fear of punishment, and this shows that we have not fully experienced his perfect love. -1 John 4:18

Thank you for this day. Thank you for my life. Thank you for your grace. Thank you for your love. I invite your love into the corners of my life it hasn't touched. Come on in... Even if as I pray this prayer, there are parts that still don't believe, help my believe. For the parts that still are not surrendered, loosen my grip. I know that I need all of you. I know that I don't want to go on with only partial experience of your perfect love. I know I want and need it all. All of you, Father! Help me through this...help me get there.

Grace
