Fall on my face

I realized yesterday during my prayer time how very blah I have been in my attitude toward spending time with God lately. I have not approached it with any kind of urgency or priority, letting all of the 'urgent' circumstances in day-to-day life to take the lead. Very simply put, I realized how utterly ashamed I would be if Christ would have return right then. I would have nothing to do but fall on my face and beg for forgiveness, pray for mercy and grace.

I am astonished at how quickly the world can sneak in and steal what belongs to God. I am astonished at how very little effort I really made to stop it. I am thankful for God's forgiveness, because I am weak and in desperate need of Him.

Psalm 103:2-4, 8 - Bless (affectionately, gratefully praise) the Lord, O my soul, and forget not one of all His benefits-- Who forgives every one of all your iniquities, Who heals each one of all your diseases, Who redeems your life from the pit and corruption, Who beautifies, dignifies, and crowns you with loving-kindness and tender mercy; The Lord is merciful and gracious, slow to anger and plenteous in mercy and loving-kindness.
These are just my thoughts on things related to my daily walk with God. I've always been a journal-keeper, and this is the area that demands most of the space in every journal I've ever kept. This is my passion, and I hope that by sharing my thoughts on the things I'm going through, I might be able to bless you in some way. Enjoy.
