Everything that hinders. Why is it that worries so easily entangle and hinder? These simple foolish things of this temporary world that affect this ugly breakable body. Yet it is all we have previously known. And it takes faith to know what we will become. And not only does it hinder, but it leads to doubts and sin that entangle.
And even more, we are charged to look to Christ! And I think that I am lonely. And I think that I have much to fear. And I think that I suffer. My life, my health is not threatened, let alone my blood poured out for those who would scorn my name. I have not yet lived, nor sacrificed that much. And though my very soul and spirit long for that courage, my heart and my mind fail and fear and dread and imagine things that may never be instead of having faith in things that are promised to come.
Lord I pray you give me wisdom and courage to clearly see and follow your path for me, rejoicing and glorifying you wherever you lead me.
