Lately I have been so busy serving that I am behind schedule, don't know what day it is, forget some on my prayer list, miss appointments, and forget to eat.<br /><br />And I tought in retirement, I would have more time for myself.

Paul speaks of this in his letter to Timothy.<br /><br />It makes sense that our focus on prayers for others would be hampered if we are burden with our own sin...thus praying for others forces us to do a little self-inventory.Tony Chttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05525644107594362899noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7938384930900615101.post-54176846056084784192009-11-09T13:15:24.341-08:002009-11-09T13:15:24.341-08:00You really know how to go straight for the good st...You really know how to go straight for the good stuff! It is odd the times that God uses in my life to convict me of things.<br /><br />Like you, I am aware of how wretched I am in my quiet time. But, He has also brought things to mind when I am driving, at work, on the phone, watching tv. <br /><br />When you ask God to "search your heart", you need to be ready to see yourself as God sees you. The Holy Spirit will always show you gently how you really are. There have been times when I have been so convicted, I have pulled over to talk to God. <br /><br />What has been the hardest for me to accept is that I am not the "nice" person I thought I was. I can be cold and stand offish. I have used this demeanor and also anger as a defense mechanism to guard my feelings. If I would just quit for half a second God would gladly step in and take care of things. It's the quitting thing I have trouble with:)Inge'https://www.blogger.com/profile/04314927398557440266noreply@blogger.com
