A lot going on right now. I realize how important it is to keep my eyes on the Lord because everything else is "sinking sand."
I love a girl far away, and the Lord tells me to trust Him and wait for Him and her.
Job hunting is difficult with my school hours.
A lot of things happening right now, and it is so easy to get caught up in those, rather than pay attention to spiritual priorities.
I tell you, if you do not spend enough time with God, reading His Word, prayer, and fellowship, it shows.
My home is a mess currently and a lot of this is attributed to my state of mind, struggling with depression. But i realize the more time I spend with God, i find more of the joy and peace of the Lord even if I am not happy about other things and He motivates me to take care of things better.
But sometimes I am feeling distanced from God, from lack of enough time with Him, and sometimes consumed with what is bothering me, that I get very depressed and nothing gets done.
I also have Epilepsy, and I believe the Lord heals people of it, as i have heard testimonies of that, but i know I need stronger faith that He will heal me. The same goes for a relationship I often am worried about with this woman I love from China. It reminds me that the Lord is key.
If you are from Christianforums.com/Foru.ms you will notice they changed policy and a lot of witches, new agers, and athiests are moderators there threatening people who talk about God and spiritual things. This is a spiritual battle, but it shows when Christ is not the focus, things are not the same as if when He is.
5 This is what the Lord says:
“Cursed are those who put their trust in mere humans,
who rely on human strength
and turn their hearts away from the Lord.
6 They are like stunted shrubs in the desert,
with no hope for the future.
They will live in the barren wilderness,
in an uninhabited salty land.
7 “But blessed are those who trust in the Lord
and have made the Lord their hope and confidence.
8 They are like trees planted along a riverbank,
with roots that reach deep into the water.
Such trees are not bothered by the heat
or worried by long months of drought.
Their leaves stay green,
and they never stop producing fruit.
Jeremiah 17:5-8 NLT
