Let your Spirit dwell in me

So, Father I was wondering what your thoughts were on all of this… I know I have to wait and see what your will is for me and I know that it doesn't really matter how I toil or struggle, I will forever be enveloped in your will. My soul says "let it be done!", but my mind still wonders, causing fear and confusion, and leads me astray. "the devils knows my address", it reminds me; and yet makes me forget, Lord: So do You! For thou hast possessed my reins: thou hast covered me in my mother's womb. -Psalm 139:13 You are my dwelling place.

Put a renewing spirit in us, Lord. Knowing that all of our efforts outside of you are futile, we try anyway; and exclude you, even when that is the least of our desires. Even in our stupidity, we know we need you. Because, every thing and every tool is in you to find.For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind. - 2 Timothy 1:7  Putting you aside is like using a butter-knife to cut down a tree when we have a chain-saw right there. It's just silly!

Renew in me oh Lord, your faith-full spirit, with ears to hear the cry of the hurt and hungry and the humility to reply with joy and thanksgiving.  Create in me a pure heart, O God, and renew a steadfast spirit within me. -Psalm 51:10 Let me, once again put our selfish needs aside and seek you, fully. You alone can put correct instructions in us. We know that we cannot fail if we put You first. There is nothing we could ever need more than you. All the hurrying  and worrying and running around we do will amount to nothing at the end.“Humble yourselves, therefore, under God’s mighty hand, that he may lift you up in due time. Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you”. -1 Peter 5:6-7  We already HAVE the very things we run around looking for: Love, freedom, salvation, grace and mercy, are all in You.
