Wired

Day 1
Wired- for a life of worship.Welcome to the first day of a 30 day journal! I am so excited that you have chosen to take this journey with God and I truly believe your life will be better as a result of spending this time with God. During this 30 day journal each day we are going to zero in on one part of God’s character. It could be His faithfulness, patience, wisdom, or constant presence. One thing you will discover is that He is a perfect father and you will begin to see His love for you in a very personal way!
Now let be give you a few goals to shoot for…each day you need to commit this time to God, simply pray and tell God that you are giving your attention to Him and that you desire change in your life. Next give your full attention to the verses I have given you to read…slowly read through those verses…it might help if you personalize the verses…example “Jon wait patiently for the lord to help, He heard my prayer for help! God will come and help me when I am in trouble”…Well anyway it helps me so give it a try. After you have read the verses underline the phrases that stand out the most to you and then write a word that describes what that phrase means to you.Example “he turned to me and heard my cry” means his listening.After you have written out a word for each favorite phrase then that’s when you journal your thoughts writing out a simply pray thanking God, acknowledging Him, worshiping Him, and for the rest of the day think about those words you used to describe God. It’s that simple!I am so excited for you, it’s going to be a great and you are really going to see God at work in your lives.
Here is the first of our 30 day journal! I will give you a little sample of what it might look like after you finished.
Psalm 40
1-waited patiently for the Lord to help me,and he turned to me and heard my cry.
2- He lifted me out of the pit of despair,out of the mud and the mire.He set my feet on solid ground and steadied me as I walked along.
3- He has given me a new song to sing,a hymn of praise to our God.Many will see what he has done and be amazed.They will put their trust in the Lord.
4- Oh, the joys of those who trust the Lord,who have no confidence in the proudor in those who worship idols.
5- O Lord my God, you have performed manywonders for us. Your plans for us are toonumerous to list. You have no equal.If I tried to recite all your wonderful deeds,I would never come to the end of themKey words for me Listening, Helps, cares, trust, mine, purpose

Dear God, I have learned a lot about you today, you really are listing to me and you want to help me in my time of need you genuinely care for me and what I am going through…I can trust you when I can trust no one else and you are mine…I want to say that over and over to you God…you are mine and I am yours…some times I question my purpose in life but you tell me that you have a lot of great plans for my life, will you help me know those plans…I can’t help but dream about them…well father I love you and I want to thank you for listening to me and helping me even when I do not deserve it… thank you for caring for me and that I can trust you with my life…can’t wait to see how you are going to use me today…I love you! P.S. Help me be strong it’s really hard sometimes. Amen
