Philippians1: 17-18, “The former proclaim Christ out of
selfish ambition, not sincerely but thinking to afflict me in my imprisonment.
What then? Only that in every way, whether in pretense or in truth, Christ is
proclaimed, and in that I rejoice.”

Have you noticed how easily we sometimes go into a remote
mode, an automatic pilot, in mind and soul? An automatic repeat of words or
thoughts that make us feel empty, so that even in our prayers we feel neutral
and again act by rote?
What a blessing to be reminded that lifting up the words and
thoughts and truth have power at all times—regardless of our weaknesses.
Whatever emotions or fears or circumstances have silenced us
into pretense, His truth overrides. And He will continue to carry us through
our own barriers.
Lord, we ask for Your forgiveness for too often bringing
prayers as obligation only, without our hearts. Thank you that even then You
continue to speak Your truth into us and through us.
Your thoughts,
