You will seek me and find me, when you seek me with all your heart. Jeremiah 29:13
Our heart is the totality of our will and emotions. Lately my emotions have been all over the place, specifically fear. Fear can be healthy, but it can also be crippling, it’s distracting and demands our attention.
I’ve learned in the past month that I’m either gonna feed my fear or my faith, the more I give Into my fear the more I starve my faith, the more I focus on my faith the more my fears starves.
Bottom line, the past month I have felt distracted, unfocused spiritually and distant from God, but He didn’t go anywhere, He is always with me. My eyes just lost focus because they were distracted, much like Peter when he was walking on water. He changed his focus and he sank.
Lord, refocus me !!!!
Seeking Him with our whole hearts means guarding our heart❤️Keeping watch over the things we allow into our lives, our days our minds, deciding what thoughts stay and which ones go.
For me, I’m committing to focusing on all that God has done for me. Focusing on his promises, feeding my faith and drowning the crap out of my fears! If I get scared in my marriage, focusing on what God has done in my marriage, scared of disease, thanking God for my health, scared of this new season we are walking into, scared of not having financially REMEMBERING how God has taken care of and provided for us this far.
Feeding my faith, focusing and seeking God with all my heart and being so utterly thankful for absolutely everything He has blessed me with rather then allowing fear or any other emotion to steal my peace and joy! Both of which come ONLY when we trust God
The Key to a thankful, worshiping heart is to rely completely on the Lord
Sing a new song to him, Play it well and sing it LOUD! The Lords word is true, and he is faithful in everything he does. Psalms 33:3-4
Building strong marriages together,
