Open my eyes Lord .....

I love this song and with the study that we are going through I am asking this of God. Open my eyes Lord - I want to stretch and grow - I want to open up to what God knows....not what I know - my feelings get the best of me - tossing me all around - I want to keep God very near, because my feelings make it so very unclear - Open Lord give me the strength....please don't allow me to keep it closed - in our video last night we learned:

Lies = captivity and Truth = freedom

I am so very sick of believing the lies of satan - the lies of the world - the lies that I have held on to for so long. We learned last night when you hold on to them so tightly in your hand you are holding on tight to a lie therefore = being a captive to it - But if I open my tight grip and drop to my knees and lay it at the foot of the cross, bring it into the Light, give it to God....then healing...restoring...and freedom will come not maybe, not if....it is a promise of God. Something that was said last night that hit me like a rock was:

God's Truth is more powerful to free me than my truth is at keeping me in bondage - another words God is bigger - I have to "know" "believe" and "understand"....Him not anything else.

Open my eyes to God's Truth.

My favorite lesson from last week was Day 4 - something I want to drill into my head is this section from day 4 - The path to peace is paved with knee-prints. Bend the knee to His trustworthy authority. Surrender every part of your life and every concern of your heart to the all-powerful, all-sufficient, all-knowing Creator of heaven and earth. "Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts" Col. 3:15. Peace is not something I can produce - it has to come from Christ.

Can you not just imagine your path of life .....and looking back you see knee-prints along the way - yes I know that God will carry me through hard times when I need Him, and at times in my life I will be dancing with joy along the way, other times may feel like I am not sure what path to take but I have to "know" that God is right beside me all along the way - I can only pray that no matter what mountains I have to climb or rocks that fall in my path - my EYES are always looking to Him and with "both" my hands I will be holding on to Him for dear life - my Abba Father, King of Kings, Prince of Peace, Wonderful Counselor, Alpha and Omega. luv ya, pl
