O Lord, I continue to ache for Your heart of flesh! Lovingly chastise me, with regard to improper attitudes; my spirit will never freely soar in unity with You, without understanding and a transcendental altitude. Chasing earthly mirages is a waste of my precious time and it will never satisfy or quench my unending thirst. Living a dedicated life of self-gratification and pleasure, won’t overcome this pain… that’s been repeatedly rehearsed. Deep within my soul, I embrace Your genuine Love for me. As a result, unwanted, dead things are compelled to fall away. Concepts of selfishness, jealousy, discontentment, self-pity, greed, addiction, and unforgiveness will no longer rule my days. Lord, teach me to “take up my cross” daily without complaint; Break the stony hardheartedness that hinders our relationship! For I crave, the joy and contentment I previously possessed, which softly undergirds our ongoing and eternal fellowship. With Your Word hidden in my heart, I walk the “narrow path”, since sin’s “broad path” leads only to one’s destruction. Acting ungodly will always be a lost battle of the soul; therefore, I cling onto Your Salvation and Resurrection… with a proper mindset and complete surrender to You! Self-centeredness is unhealthy to my soul’s existence; therefore, I’m determined to purposely seek oneness with You, while forgoing the proverbial path… of least resistance.
