God, please help me to lean into just focusing on You and my relationship with you. After the heartbreak from the past relationship and trying to move forward and heal from that, my heart is not in the place to think about relationship/somebody else, and it really wasn't intentionally looking for anything/anyone, and yet somehow some way it has already been stirred up by a new person/new circumstance. How confusing. What a difficult spot to be in. How did I even get here?? Hangs head, deep sigh. O Lord, I really need Your protection, divine Help, and guidance. I feel a bit like a wreck inside, but I know that Your Word can make me whole again. Keep me on the straight and narrow path, even though my flesh often wants to run the opposite direction and yield to my own lustful desires rather than obey You in faith, love, purity, humility, submission. O Lord, help me. Teach me to be silent and still and to wait quietly. I am so impatient. I often feel restless, and then sometimes I want to do something reckless, something I might regret. Please give me greater faith. Teach me self-control and to exercise this fruit of the Spirit when temptation comes. Please give me spiritual lenses, that I may behold Christ and find Him overwhelmingly Beautiful and Glorious in all His splendor. May I be captivated by Jesus in all His beauty and majesty. Help me return to my First Love.
O Jesus, the Christian life is impossible. I fail over and over again. I cannot do it. Only You can do what I cannot do! Please help me, God.
