The Path Day 7,8,9
Posted: Mon Nov 01, 2010 7:12 pmI'm on day 7 of the path. I drew the chart and I'm trying to eject some of the lies that have been introduced into my mind, that i have accepted as truths. I agree that if you are exposed to a lie enough times it becomes truth to you. I pray for God to help me with faith.
I'm on day 8. I do seem to be more tempted to sin in the last week, than I have in a long while. I guess the devil must think I'm becoming a threat to his cause. I am trying to change my thoughts, today was a little tougher. I sing the song Amazing Grace in my head, and I am going to start reading Psalms 23. I prayed today also to try to change my thoughts. I hope to have a better day tomorrow.
Day 9. I hope this step will help me to gain more patience, and I pray for God to help me to find faith. I have always believed in God and Jesus. I have tried over the years to dedicate my life to them. There always seems to come a point where I start to lose faith. I think in the past I had pulled weeds, and left a void, and my old habits and doubts would creep back in. I now know that I need to fill that space with "god stuff". I am going to put things to remind me of God around my home. I have been listening to Christian music lately and it has helped me very much. I feel this counseling is helping also. I find myself not wanting to listen to some of my other music on my Ipod, actually deleting some of my old favorites because the lyrics are pretty bad. Palms 37:34 Don't be impatient for the Lord to act! Travel steadily along his path. I need to remind myself of this passage often. I know the Miracle Grow and the 40 day habit chart will keep me on the right path.
