We have been in revival for a week and I have experienced a reviving within my soul and a restoration to spiritual activity! Certainly what I have indeed needed. I have allowed life and circumstances around me to fill my days with worry and doubt. Yet I know, " Wherefore, if God so clothe the grass of the field, which today is, and tomorrow is cast into the oven, shall he not much more clothe you, O ye of little faith?" Matt 6:30 Yet my doubt does not lay in God, but in myself. Feeling unworthy of even coming to God and asking of anything. I've sat down and listened to the lies of the devil and believed him. I have allowed these fears, doubts and worries to keep me bound. I have left off from real meaningful prayer and bible reading. In other words true communion with God. How foolish of me!

I know John 3:16, and all that God has done for me up to this point, yet I still manage to trip along the path and skin up my "spiritual" knees.

I thank God that He sends evangelists to us, the right ones, at the right time. This past week stories of Jonah, and Josiah and more have been broken down and explained. I have never been good at reading "between the lines." For example really looking at the whole story, the surroundings, imagining what the whole scene may have been like. What eye openers each sermon has been to me. That and also allowing God to handle all of the fears, doubts and worries that I have been holding onto for months. My shoulders fill so much higher!

Last nights message was "Revival of the Bible" I have always heard that each failure is a prayer failure, but I also believe it is failure to read our bibles. Reading God's word is what stirs up our souls.

Note to self: I am saved, a child of God. Always trust in Him, not myself. If I fall, just get back up, pray and read my bible.
