Hello my praying friends,
How is your prayer life? Personally, I’ve been struggling to keep my thoughts pure with much failures. Also my lack of discipline in my prayer life is affecting me greatly. It’s a spiritual and mental battle that started in 2022. How do I know this; simply because I’ve searched my heart to find the root of the started point which I led me to a bigger problem in my Christian walk with Christ.
This little bitsy weak sinful things that was planted, either unconsciously or consciously in my late teens, has grown into a monstrous problem. It may not affected others around me, but it’s shameful and burdensome. I’m fighting this giant Golatiah continually and it has exhausted me to a point, that I’ve no desired to fight back.
Therefore, my sin lingers in my mind for hours. Probes me during devotion time and bible studies. Distracts me during church services. While I watched T.V. While I speak with my spouse. While I speak with my adult-kids. It’s a continual mind-battle that left me wounded at the heart and questioned myself how did I get there in the first place.
My sin is bashful. Continuous. Draining. Unrestful. Keeps me up at night. The end of it cause me great shame at the core of my soul and heart.
Oh how much I love God! How much I love Jesus Christ, my Savior. So how can that be! What has changed in my life to end up here? What did I do wrong? How can I be a believer wondered off like this?
ENOUGH!
I cry to you, O LORD, of my salvation. Here my cry. Here us crying like children enslaved in Egypt. We need You to rescue us from the tyrant type Pharaoh. We need another Moses. Another Joshua. Another Elijah. Another Elisha. Another John the Baptist. We need you, Jesus! Come back to us. Save us from the burden of this fallen world. I want out of the land of slavery.
Forgive your servant for inclining her heart to worthless things. Confirm to your servant your promise, that you may be feared(Psalm 119:38). Give me life through your word and let your steadfast love come to me, O LORD (Psalm 119: 41), then I shall have an answer for him who taunts me (Psalm 119: 42). This is my comfort in my affliction, that your promise gives me life (Psalm 119: 50).
Renew my heart and mind and wear the Armor of God that I may be equipped better and stand the oppressing force of evil that are against my soul. Let me be a light to this domain of darkness. Strengthened my faith that I may not fear what I do not understand or see. Be my Captain as you were for Joshua. The comforter of my soul.
Praise be your name. In Jesus’ name. Amen

I’m presently reading this book. A typology of exodus throughout the bible.
Short chapters. Easy read. Most of the typology, I knew but others I never thought connecting it the points together. It’s amazing how the story of redemption is repeated over and over. Yep, there is a saying about history repeat its. Well, it definitely clear from that book.
If you want to know about Echoes of Exodus, listen to Bible Nerd Ministries YouTube. Faith goes in details explaining a few of the typology book.
