We all sin. I sin everyday. I am human. Some of my sin I see and instantly recognize. For example when I am short with my siblings. However, recently I have been realizing that there are probably some areas of my life where I am sinning or not trusting in Him and I don't even know it. So I have been praying that God will reveal the areas of my life where I have strongholds and that He would give me the strength to over come them. So far He has shown me that I worry too much. I am a huge control person and I get to thinking about everything and what I need to do about it. However, God says,"So do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’" (Matthew 6:31) "So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand." ( Isaiah 41:10 ) I have been praying and seeking God about my worries. I have been casting all my burdens onto Him. He has brought me great joy and I can feel Him working in my life! Now I am ask, "What is the next stronghold I can overcome through Your grace?" I know there will be one and I know I can overcome it through Him Who lives in me. God always gives you a way out of temptation. You just have to be listening and looking for Him. Praise His Holy Name, that we can have such a close relationship with Him through Jesus!
