Reading: Lamentations 3:16-18: "... And my soul has been rejected from peace: I have forgotten happiness. So I say, 'My strength has perished, And so has my hope from the Lord.'"
When
Forgotten. When we set our minds and hearts on our personal desires we often turn outward instead of inward, and then lose hope and strength when our ways causes everything to crumble.
When we look only at our own desires and not seek the Lord's. Or even ask for direction.
We do not have ongoing strength on our own. Only His power can bring wholeness.
When we turn our hearts and minds and desires to focus on His purpose then we may be able to grasp a tiny seed. And focus on His prayers--His intent.
Lord, please lead us by Your Ho;y Spirit that we may trust with commitment. Not our version of desires, but the ones You choose from Your strength.
Your thoughts,
