The Christian life isn't an easy journey.

Or is it?

Could life be made simpler by simply obeying?

Yes our flesh is corrupt, but the Spirit is willing.

I sit and reflect on my decisions and where I am today, and I feel out. I seek God in prayer, and I feel some movement, but I still feel out. I wish the tears would come. A cleansing.

I know living according to God's will is what brings life, but when will I learn to forsake the foolishness and live?

Maybe I am too hard on myself, or maybe the weight of knowing that the path to life is narrow and hard demands it. Yes, there is grace, but I shouldn't make that a reason to sin.

There are so many decisions to make, so much going on. Sometimes it is overwhelming. But as I focus again on Jesus, I have no worries.

I'm just not feeling too great today and having a hard time returning to our Father.

I reflect on seasons - peaks and valleys. Sometimes I wish it was just peak to peak to peak. But perhaps with each valley comes a new understanding of God and His grace for us. I don't know that I'll understand it completely as I'm in it.

Take my eyes away from the worthless things, and help me to stand strong in what is True.
