Your Thoughts Reveal what You Behold

I have been reading Get Out of Your Head by Jennie Allen. 

Along with reading the book, I loosely have participated in an online bible study via Proverbs 31 for this text. Last night I overheard a lady on the live bible study say, the thoughts that we fixate on over and over again often indicate what is our idol.

Yes, Lord, Yes

 Father God,  The past year and eight months have been full of growth, HOPE and TRANSFORMATION. I had to SURRENDER my plans daily to your will, and I have had to learn to TRUST you in the process.  I am still healing from past trauma; and learning to be the best version of myself in mind, body and soul.  But in the past week or two I've realized... I am ready, Lord. I am ready to enter the next season. I am ready to journey towards being a wife. I am ready for what you have waiting in store for me.  Father, help me to now wait patiently. To wait for your perfect timing. To trust that you will do exceedingly and abundantly more than I am currently hoping for or imagining. Thank you for this season of learning to let go of my fear, and to walk in faith. I know the journey is far from over... but I am ready to do the work.  I look forward to where you will send me... send us. In Jesus' Name, Chrissy

So I go to your presence, and I seek your holy will. Give me clarity, oh Lord. Reveal to me your plan. Remove my fears and desires. Give me a clean, honest heart so I can open up completely to receive your Spirit and Word. Show me, oh Lord, that it all begins with belief. Belief that God came as man to die for my sins. Belief in the Resurrection, as your Spirit gives life, and God is love. From this eternal truth let my search for direction begin. Send me your Word, oh Lord, and in your will may I get closer to you. In the name of Jesus Christ, Amen. For this is the will of my Father, that every one who sees the Son and believes in him should have eternal life; and I will raise him up at the last day. John 6:40 And we impart this in words not taught by human wisdom but taught by the Spirit, inter...
