Scripture: 2 Cr 5:17
Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation.The old has passed away; behold, the new has come
OAP: "Death to self, your will not mine, let me not get in the way of your Lord, don't let me play any part of this". These are prayers that I do a lot. The past few months I have been extremely cynical about anything that I want. Anything that I suspect comes from me I assume must be bad, and I don't want any part of it. I enjoy friends, therefore I will give them up for you. And I know that there are good things, but I can always see the possibility of idolatry. Adam told me something a few weeks back, I think it was an afterthought as I was leaving church, but it was significant. God made me a new heart, and it is good.
It was God's will and my will, I wanted my will destroyed. But although human, I am made in the image of God, reborn in the spirit. In short, I have good in me. I have God. This was interesting to grapple with, it meant a lot. I am wary of my thoughts, but I don't fear them, I may even embrace a few.
God, I want your will. I don't trust that I know it very well yet, but I am learning to listen in new ways. By far the newest is a certain amount of trust in the mind you gave me, the heart you crafted, the spirit you are refining.
Hallelujah
