Enlightened by the Spirit

Key questions for the day What things in our lives hold us back from God?  How can I better recognize the immense good that He has in store for us? How many times a day do I put other items before him?  Heavenly Father, please allow me to follow your holy wisdom.  Many times I do not choose to follow you.  In other words, many times I choose to act like an animal versus being a man.  Do not let me perish;  You have the authority to overcome evil.  The lies of satan are so disgusting.  Help me to recognize evil for what it is.  I pray this in the name of Jesus.

God is always looking to guide me and teach me.  Am I looking to serve and love Him as I should?How much time do I give to God?    My selfish ways get in the way. Only God can show me the way, but I must be attuned to what he has in store for me. Only by living the way that God wants me to live will I attain the satisfaction in which God has for me to experience.  God puts people into my life for a reason Write down a list of God's gifts to you.  (it would compose a book) Remove all negative people / things that take you away from God Pray: My God, help me to give you the time you deserve.  It is only when I align my life with you that I attain true happiness.  I am nothing without you and only you can set me free.  I turn to you and plead for your mercy in patience in this situation.  Help me O' Lord and assist me in overcoming the issues that I am faced with.

God has a Holy Will.  I must choose this will.  His love is enough.  His care is outstanding.  He is always waiting for me to turn back to Him.  Lord God, I pray that you may guide my life.  I pray that you may give me the wisdom to overcome.  Let me not be a fool, but help me to live in Your love.  Help me to turn back to you.  Give me the Grace that I need to be a saint.  I love you.  I pray in the name of Jesus.

Convert me O' Lord and help me turn to You.  I have been slow and have not put my heart into my love for  You.  I am a weak, selfish, and shameful man, but ultimately You love me so.  Help me to follow You and give me the grace to walk again.
