I am YOURS

When Satan rises up against God people, there are usually 2 responses. Run into the shelter of the Almighty God, or run away from God. I'd like to think that I run to the Almighty. Recently, there have been some challenges arising in areas of my life. My walk with the Lord hasn't been what it should, and I've been praying about that; asking God to rekindle the fire in my heart for Him and His desire for my life.

No matter what challenges arise, I know God is the one true way. When things are hard and I don't understand, when I feel like breaking down and crying because my heart is breaking, I know that there is a living God who loves me, cares for me and sees my tears. He shall defend me, He shall comfort me. All I need is found in Him!!!

I'm tired of getting distracted by wordly things that take my focus from Him. I need God first, only God. Without Him, I'm nothing. I need Him more than breath itself.

Dear God, help me today, to have a mind after yours, a heart set on the path you have for me. When temptations, failures, disappointments, heartbreak and etc enter my world, help me to run to you. When joy, happiness and love enter my world, help me to run to you!

I'm naming and claiming that I am yours today Lord! The world may tell me to walk a different direction, to react a different way, but no Lord, I know that I am called to higher standard, that you are calling me to be Christ-like.

You are loosening the chains Father! You are breaking the bondages over me! You are renewing me, breaking me, shaping me. I am YOURS!!!
