I read some of Psalm 119 today.
I have been seeking the mind of Christ. What I am hearing is three fold.
- Read the Holy Scriptures
- Do the things they say to do, follow the instructions
- Give ALL control over to God
Last night I had a very scary dream. My wife or daughter was locked up in a hospital and no matter what I would try I did not have the power to help or even to get them out. The feeling of not being in control is the most terrifying of emotions for me, but I know in my head that control is what is standing between me and God’s will. I must release all control to the Holy Spirit.
Lord, thank you for this insight. Please give me the strength to be week. Let the battle be not mine, but yours. I desire to be your servant.

Today I read Psalm 103 aloud.
I have been feeling an urging toward making disciples. It the same time I fear, no I doubt my discernment between God’s plans and my own. I am scared. I am not brave and courageous.
Abba Father, Please let me hear your will. Forgive me for doubt. Take all my mind and strength that all I do must be from you and of you. I love you Lord. I want your kingdom to come. I praise your name. Glory to the most wonderful, coolest, most powerful, excelentest, all knowing, all loving daddy.
Lord, Please do your will with these bless Jay, Jim, Calvin, and Kevin today.

I read Psalm 38 aloud and John 16.
Yesterday was a good day. I was given more grace in the areas of waiting for God and having patients with people.
Today I will continue to focus on only speaking words which build community in Christ. I also hope for the discipline to to hear the Holy Spirit’s voice through the noise and stuff of today.
Please pray for my wife and our family as she starts maintenance (1 every 3 months) shock treatments for depression. They were very effective last time, but had a large impact on the family. I am very scared.
Lord, what prayer would I pray for my brothers today; may they see glimpses of your kingdom everywhere they look today and know that you are near.
