God, You are mighty, You are awesome! Thank You for all you have given me. Your love reaches out to me and holds me up. You see me when I am weak, and haven’t even let me fall. You hear my voice when I cry out to you, and not once have you ignored me oh God. I call You in the morning, and by night You have already answered me. Keep me from turning my ear away from You, and let me hear the Words that I am supposed to hear. Don’t let me put words into Your mouth so that I hear what I want to hear, but let me only hear Your voice. My flesh is weak and wants only worldly things, but my spirit is willing, and wants only what you want me to have.
“Keep watching and praying that you may not enter into temptation; the spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak.” Matthew 26:41
You have saved me from all the evils that come near me, and have given me strength in you. Oh God form me. Form me to be who You want me to be. Guide my feet, and lift up my hands so that I may serve You forever. Mold my spirit and let me close to You at all times. You have given me all that I have. I can’t thank you enough for it. I don’t deserve anything You have given me, yet You love me and have given me so much. I will praise You all of my life, and give You all that I have. You have my hands, You have my feet, You have my soul, You have my spirit and everything else of me. Use me. Work through me and let Your beautiful light shine through me so I can shine through through the darkness of the world, helping those who’s lives are dimmed or dark see the path to You. I can’t describe how thankful I am for Your love, oh God. Thank You for loving me.

Don’t run away from God. Don’t go your own way. Don’t choose a path that is not in the right direction. But instead keep God’s Word in your heart. Meditate on His Word day and night. Keep right beside God at all times, and remember, if you are with Him, then He has to be with you. A sheep doesn’t lead the shepherd, but the shepherd leads the sheep. God is the shepherd, and we are His sheep. So follow God, and you will save your life from destruction and troubles.
Don’t run away from God for things you have done in the past. Don’t ever think you are not able to be forgiven. For God understands. While Jesus was on this earth, He was tempted more than you ever were, and ever will be. Remember God will not allow you to be tempted beyond what you are able.
“No temptation has overtaken you but such as is common to man; and God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted beyond what you are able, but with the temptation will provide the way of escape also, so that you will be able to endure it.” 1 Corinthians 10:13
Remember that verse, and when being tempted, always look for the way of escape, and you will find it. But just finding the way of escape isn’t good enough, you must take it. Keep in mind the Spirit is willing but the flesh is weak. Keep your mind on the things that matter. Keep your head turned towards God, and away from all temptation. Surround yourself with what will keep you on track. And never turn around, or run the other way for any reason. God Loves you.
“Watch and pray, that you do not enter into temptation. The spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak.” Matthew 26:41
“My grace is all you need. My power works best in weakness. So now I am glad to boast about my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ can work through me.” 2 Corinthians 12:9
