OK, so I just admitted to you all that I have had one of those kinds of weeks. What I didn't admit (mainly because my selfishness or Satan did not bring it to the front of my mind) is that I neglected reading His Word or spending quiet time with the Lord this week. THAT's why I've had just a "blah" week!!!! Why did it take me so long to realize that?
Why do we do the things we do? If I am not doing what I am supposed to be doing, what the Lord has called me to be doing, then why would we expect happiness or joy? I neglected Him so He has every right to neglect me in a sense.
Dear Heavenly Father, First I want to thank You for bringing to mind my sin. I DO NOT want to sin, truly I don't. I want to do and be what You have called me to be. Please help me to be the better wife, mother, and Christian that I can be. Help me to repent and turn away from my sin and to remember to spend time with You each day, in prayer and in The Word. Help me to teach the children the importance of doing the same. Lord, Please be with me as I am trying to change. There are so many times that I fail. There are so many times that I do not live up to the expectations of others. Help me to learn to do those things not because they are human and I want to please them, but because Lord, I want to please You. Help me to learn that what I do to others, I am doing to You. Thank You for sending your Son, Jesus Christ, to die on the cross for the forgiveness of my sin. I pray these things in Jesus' Name, Amen.
