Psalm 102 (1-18, 25-27) & Psalm 103:8-14
I'm in a place of humility. After being in a place where I thought things were figured out and understood, it's humbling to see that life continues to get harder and less certain (Many times its because of my pride, selfishness, irresponsibility, etc.). It's hard to see anything clearly now. It's distressing and unsettling. It's a cold reality. I'm fearing God in this time. He's clearly seeking my attention through his rebuking and chiding.
I must respond with due diligence to thank him and praise him. The Psalms that God speaks to his people have renewed my soul some, but I'm still a little wounded and confused. I was trying to do more of what God wanted me to do, but through that I've found less and less time for everything. All the while in my wickedness, I've become sluggish and sloppy a little. Something feels wrong, but it's difficult to put a finger on it. I'm not myself, but feel under attack from others and from within. Please pray for this week that God's goodness would shine through.
James 4:17 and Romans 15:1-3
These verses are also weighing on me. In seeking to do what is right, I've been pleasing myself less and less. Seeing selfish gain as evil compared to what God wants me to do I've been putting off the daily tasks for me to do what others need. It's lead to a whole lot of discouragement. Along the same note, I'm causing pain for those around me with my words and actions at times. Where is the sin and where is the good? By trying to do good, am I sinning? What does God mean when he says these verses to me right now. I'm really struggling to keep my head afloat with life whizzing by and could use your prayers to understand what is it that is good and right. I'm struggling to know what is sin. I want to know what is right and how to keep doing that.
