Struggling Well With Life

I heard a challenging message last week, and one point in particular really struck home. We do not often live in the thirst, the felt need long enough to allow that need to lead us to the only One who can quench it. No, we run to satisfy that felt need, to quench it, even deaden ourselves with all sorts of cheap imitations. That’s me. My mind immediately went to several areas of my life where that is dead on. Some say “information is power”, and I thought recognition of a pattern would disarm it. Not so for me this past week. The patterns and deadening were heightened. The battle was rough. And honestly, I have not fair-ed well. Discouraged. It’s a Monday morning, and I need a Savior. I need a fresh start. Who will rescue me? Thanks be to Jesus Christ!
