Living for Christ

God revealed to me this morning that the frustrations I've been facing in my life are a result of focusing too much on self. CHRIST is the centre of my life but all I have been doing is not centered around Him.

What are the problems I face being too occupied with Self?
- get angry and condemned easily when things don't go right
- lose focus on the important things and dwell in the mundane
- complain and murmur to push the blame unto others
- feel helpless and without strength to face my work, people and everything that's happening in my life

Somehow in my subconscious mind, I know that to solve my problems, I must seek His presence more... But I seek my Self instead to relieve my frustrations over my days. These days are miserable and stressful, even though outwardly I appear to be able to handle it all. "I'm fine, thank you, don't worry about me," I'll tell others, including my loved ones, even though I'm feeling lousy inside.

Lord, I so need you. I realized now my folly to put Self in front of You. I give thanks to You that You did not leave or forsake me. In You, I have forgiveness of sins and the gift of righteousness everyday of my life. Living for You is as crucial as me breathing in air.

Lord, I ask to come closer to You and seek Your lovely face. I thirst for Your wisdom, truth, strength and abundance of life. Your grace, unmerited favor surrounds me like a shield. Amen!
