Devotion: Its not easy admitting Father that much off my misery I bring upon myself. I refuse to obey even Your simplest commands preferring to take the easy way out and then complain that those who are evil tend to get all the breaks. Even though You have have told me that I wont go through any temptation that hasnt been experienced by my fellow Christians or even non-Christians in my own selfish ways I like to believe that its all about me and that You are out to punish me for real or imagined wrongs. Because I am so blinded looking at the blessings of others I dont see the deliverance You are providing to me; because I am so steeped in wallowing in my own misery, I fail to heed the guidance of the Holy Spirit leading me to victory over the obstacles in my way; because I love to hear the sound of my own voice complaining and bemoaning my ails and ills, I dont accept the forgiveness, healing, and peace that is freely available. The truth hurts, Father, the truth that I keep myself downtrodden and hopeless by looking down and around instead of up to you from where my help comes. Father, clear my eyes to see only you and the assistance you offer through the love and guidance of the Holy Spirit. Wipe clean my heart from jealousy and anger so that it is focused on you rather than on the blessings being given to others. Instill in me, Lord, the strength to to conquer the obstacles in my path, including those I put there myself. Father, help me to correct my thoughts and be focused on you! 1 Corinthians 10:13, Psalm 121:2, Matthew 26:41, Ephesians 4:27
