Able To Forget?

(View Daily Bread)
Philippians 1:1-11 (NIV)
1 Paul and Timothy, servants of Christ Jesus,

To all the saints in Christ Jesus at Philippi, together with the overseers and deacons:

2 Grace and peace to you from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

Thanksgiving and Prayer

3 I thank my God every time I remember you. 4 In all my prayers for all of you, I always pray with joy 5 because of your partnership in the gospel from the first day until now, 6 being confident of this, that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus.

7 It is right for me to feel this way about all of you, since I have you in my heart; for whether I am in chains or defending and confirming the gospel, all of you share in God's grace with me. 8 God can testify how I long for all of you with the affection of Christ Jesus.

9 And this is my prayer: that your love may abound more and more in knowledge and depth of insight, 10 so that you may be able to discern what is best and may be pure and blameless until the day of Christ, 11 filled with the fruit of righteousness that comes through Jesus Christ—to the glory and praise of God.

Lord I'm feeling down for two days in a row already. First being an argument, second an unsettled misunderstanding, third an unconfirmed emotion, fourth a feeling of being ignored.

These two days had started to build a real burden in my heart, and I'm struggling to keep my walk with You on track. I feel no motivation, tired, and I can't find rest. These troubles seem to spin around in both my head and my head, rendering me helpless.

Ttoday's message teaches me to cherish memories of the past, and not let today's burden erase them off. Father I pray that as I reminisce the times of joy , peace will be injected into my heart once again, and let all these burdens be cast onto You, for You have the power to handle all these, while I can't. I want to stop dwelling Father God…

Lord I know You'll be here for me, You're always here. You never left me, and You never will...
