A prayer of David, in spite of his unworthiness, God still called, a man after his own heart.

There is a battle that rages inside of us, but it is not our battle to fight! Remember, the battle belongs to the Lord! See the rest of verse, by clicking on the picture.
“But if I do the very thing I do not want to do, I agree with the Law, confessing that the Law is good. So now, no longer am I the one doing it, but sin which dwells in me. For I know that nothing good dwells in me, that is, in my flesh; for the willing is present in me, but the doing of the good is not. For the good that I want, I do not do, but I practice the very evil that I do not want. But if I am doing the very thing I do not want, I am no longer the one doing it, but sin which dwells in me. I find then the principle that evil is present in me, the one who wants to do good. For I joyfully concur with the law of God in the inner man, but I see a different law in the members of my body, waging war against the law of my mind and making me a prisoner of the law of sin which is in my members. Wretched man that I am! Who will set me free from the body of this death? Thanks be to God through Jesus Christ our Lord! So then, on the one hand I myself with my mind am serving the law of God, but on the other, with my flesh the law of sin.”
Romans 7:16-25 NASB1995
Father, every day is a choice, to walk down the path, that you chosen for us, and lead us by example. Help us and give us strength, as we encounter various obstacles, that try and hinder our steps. Give us patience and a strengthened Faith, to keep moving forward as we follow you. Surround us with brothers and sisters in Christ, that we may encourage one another, and tell of your faithfulness. Amen!
Lord, may we as men, be continually reminded of this, that you would help us draw close to you, and our wives, that we might be a light in this world, to point people to you. 🙏
HE Never Stops Working!
Jesus makes the Invisible, Visible!
bible.com/bible/100/2co.4.18.NASB1995
things which are seen … not seen. Endurance is based on a person’s ability to look beyond the physical to the spiritual; beyond the present to the future, and beyond the visible to the invisible. Believers must look past what is temporary—what is perishing (i.e., the things of the world). things … not seen are eternal. Pursuing God, Christ, the Holy Spirit, and the souls of men should consume the believer.
You are never alone, in your tests and trials. Find hope in Jesus, and the people in the church he established, to love and care for one another.
It’s never too late to turn around and seek God’s guidance. Every morning, you’re offered fresh mercy and a chance to start anew. If yesterday was a setback, don’t let it discourage you. If you made selfish choices in the past, take responsibility and begin anew, seeking forgiveness. God’s embrace is unconditional and always available.
