Distracted

First off this past week has been great! All sorts new adventures, meeting new people, traveling to new destinations, its been a good change. My friend Todd and I found ourselves driving out to Hubbardston Ma today where was we really had no idea. Todd is such an encouraging person and Lord I thank you for the friendship that you have placed between Todd and I. But as we were traveling I realized that we were going to spend the night with a ton of people that we did not know which was slighly overwhelming yet God is good and we both enjoyed ourselves greatly.

Todd and I had deep conversation on the ride home I found myself feeling a bit discouraged. Todd like always had great insight and perspective. I was discouraged because I am distracted. I am disctracted by my own desires which removes me from being focused on God alone. Lord, why does my mind race in distraction? Lord, please help me give all of my desires to you so that I desire only you. Only you can make me whole and only you shall I put my trust. Nothing/no one else can satisfy my heart like you.

Psalm 37:3-7

3 Trust in the LORD and do good;
dwell in the land and enjoy safe pasture.

4 Delight yourself in the LORD
and he will give you the desires of your heart.

5 Commit your way to the LORD;
trust in him and he will do this:

6 He will make your righteousness shine like the dawn,
the justice of your cause like the noonday sun.

7 Be still before the LORD and wait patiently for him;
do not fret when men succeed in their ways,
when they carry out their wicked schemes.

Lord, I give you my desires I commit them to you Lord. Lord I pray tonight that you not only calm my heart and mind but also help me to wait patiently on you. What paitiently on your will. Lord it is your will and your ways that I move by help me to cast aside my will and my ways may I trust solely in your sustaining Love and Grace.

Heaven came down

Heaven came down and glory filled my soul
When at the cross my Savior made me whole
My sins were washed away
And my night turned to day
When heaven came down and glory filled my soul

O, what a wonderful, wonderful day
Day I will never forget
When I was wandering in darkness away
Jesus my Savior I met

O, what a tender compassionate Friend
He met the need of my heart
Shadows dispelling with joy I am telling
He made all the darkness depart

O, what a wonderful, wonderful day,
yeah, today
And O, what a glorious, glorious day
The day You came, came to save me
O, what a wonderful, wonderful day
The day You came and You saved my soul
