Fast
“For what do I have, if I don’t have you Jesus?”
What am i giving my time to? God? Jesus? Surely not. Im going to attempt and change this habit of mine through fasting from the internet. Why the internet? I have no idea but God has led me to that decision and im going to follow. Maybe because im on the internet all the time and sometimes even the whole day even if im not doing...
“To be SAVED cost us nothing
To be a DISCIPLE cost us everything”
– I Heart Revolution
Dear God
Change my heart, help me want you, give me the self-control to take on these temptations you know i can handle.
Please don’t let this be just a routine that i go through everyday. Help me understand that everyday is not just another normal day.
You made it so that the earth is the 3rd planet from the sun. You made it so that the earth travles in an eliptical shape so that we can have 4...
Too filled up?
If we were to be a filled water bottle, how much of it would be filled with God’s word? If God’s word were to be milk and we tried to pour some milk into the filled water bottle, would there be any room for God’s word? What is filling us up besides God’s word? It’s probably all that homework from school, or maybe the new video game, or that cool band, or myspace, or...

Mindset
I have to admit that i do need to change my mindset when im doing my 10 minute prayer before bed. Sometimes i do it as a routine instead of wanting to pray and to talk and confess and ask and thank God. Falling asleep while praying has been frustrating and i just need to find a way to stay awake because i fall asleep real easily.
Please change my heart and help me want to pray to you God and to...
Thankful
I am thankful for the difficult questions i am asked about my faith and about my God because it just makes me want to read my bible and pray to God.
I am thankful for the path the earth makes around the sun because if it were any different we would either burn or freeze here.
I am thankful just to have a house and a family who loves me.
Teach me to learn how to give to others who need it more...
Dear God
Thank you for today
thank you for allowing me to share my testimony to two of my friends this week and last week. Please help me not to be scared of rejection or of the intense questions i was being asked becuase i know that the answers will be difficult to understand. Please help me do my devotions so that i may be filled with your word inside of me and be ready for when i am asked about you.

Trust
If we can’t trust God with our money, school work, problems, simple things, food, health, guidance, etc…how can we trust God with our salvation?
We need to learn how to trust God in every single aspect of our lives or we’re going to doubt God in every single aspect of our lives.
God blesses us and gives to us so that we can give...
help me Lord
I know God gives us the strength to overcome any temptations that come our way, but why is it so hard for me to stay strong with God?
I still dont have the self-control, nor do i have the perseverance in my life. Theyre slowing fading away and i need you Lord to help me strengthen the weaknesses i have.
My ten minutes to you are shrinking or just arent happening at night before I go to bed. Why...
Dear God...
its been awhile since i’ve felt close to you…i pray all the time but it hasnt been a prayer where i felt like im actually talking to you like before. What am i doing different than in the past? Im falling deeper and deeper into sin…i want to stop but my lack of self-control is playing a role in this?
Is it my lack of self-control that’s bringing me further and further away...
Halloween Day
The reactions i got when little kids saw me as santa clause infront of their door with a bunch of trick-or-treater’s was amazing! :]
