Well, these past few days I've just been spiritually fatigued. I've continued to read my Bible and pray, but I've just felt so uninspired. Normally, these are the times that I just turn to my own strength. I change my mind about seeking after God fully, and I begin to do the things that I want instead of what He wants for me. This usually creates a problem. This makes my roller coaster ride. I'm up on this spiritual high, and then as soon as I get spiritually fatigued I just fall away. I go back to my comfort zone of sin.
So how do I remain in Christ during these times? I mean, Satan especially goes after me when I am spiritually tired. I often just feel helpless against him because I am tired. But guess what! Christ lives within me. I am a temple for the Holy Spirit. I clearly cannot stand against Satan on my own, and even when I am tired, He is with me. I'm not in this battle alone. Not only is Christ with me, but His Holy Spirit is in me. I was just really encouraged by that.
Today, I feel like breaking down, and giving into my temptations. I feel like clinging to that place where I feel comfortable in myself. But, I'm not going to. I'm going to trust God and cling to Him with all that I am. I'm praying that the Holy Spirit will guide me and protect me from Satan.
Comfort me.
Strengthen me.
Guide me.
Protect me.
Spur me on, Jesus.
EXACTLY what i need to hear.
