Day 22-My Back

The Man in the Mirror Journey

is a journey of walking out of a tomb and recognizing everyday the beauty and significance of how God created us. Instead of rebounding and finding esteem in the arms of someone else, these are the step to seeing it in the arms of God

Prayer

Father God, Turn it around so that we no longer have our Backs towards you but that our faces are seeking your Face. That we are moving parellel with your ways because we are moving with our backs towards the old way of life!

That proverbs scripture really got me. I know I want to vent..

and express what I'm feeling before I explode!

But your wisdom says its best to hold back.

I NEED YOUR HELP

I don't even know what it looks like to hold back, because it feels like defeat! Teach me how to handle this stuff..

and comfort me when my sharing is not an over share.

I know you have called me to be transparent

and know as I pray this you show me the difference

Thank you Father!

Moving in erratic emotion to pull a result or an emotion from someone else is wrong.

sharing an emotion to encourage the body of Christ is more than alright

dude your cool...and instant answer

So Father we come against Backsliding... did it yesterday :(

We come against going BACK to the stuff we know is wrong, but feels good

Help us in the Idol times!

I'm sitting around tryn not to get into anything, but the time is spent so wastefully

turn us BACK to your FACE

Turn us BACK to your ways

Thank you for the process...thank you for the process

I command HEALING in my mind, body, temple, soul, my heart, my eyes, my reflection,my ears, my nose, mouth,tongue,lips,neck,shoulders, my everything!

We command it to ourselves!

There is NO TURNING BACK from you

Teach us how to Walk on water

In Jesus name we Pray

Amen
