Let me first say that today was a real tough to get my hour with God. Satan doesn't like this change in my life and is trying to distract me from quiet time and tempting me to go back to old habits again. I am going to push through though and I'm going to win this spiritual battle with my Savior by my side!
James 4:7-8
Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. Draw near to God, and he will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners, and purify your hearts, you double-minded.
Lord, give me strength to draw closer to you and not back off when this battle gets tough. You are my desire, my life, my all. You are my world, and I want the peace that only you can give when I draw close to you!
Just like there was a ship available when Jonah was tempted to run away, there is always a distraction available to keep us from our time with God.
