"Then I will sprinkle clean water on you, and you shall be clean; I will cleanse you from all your filthiness and from all your idols. I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit within you; I will take the heart of stone out of your flesh and give you a heart of flesh. I will put My Spirit within you and cause you to walk in My judgements and do them. Then you shall dwell in the land that I gave to your fathers; you shall be My people and I will be your God." ~ Ezekiel 36:25-28
Lord, please remove this heart stone. Rip it out. Do what You have to do. I'm ready to rid myself of all that is distracting me from growing closer to You. Nothing in this world is as satisfying as just a few minutes in Your presense. You are all I need.
Let my joy be constant. No more of this roller coaster emotion. You are always the same; You never change. Remind me of that. Remind me when I'm down in the dumps, when things don't go my way, when people frustrate me and hurt my feelings. Remind me when things are going great, when the sun is shining and life is good.
The point of all this is You. You're the reason I wake up in the morning. You're the reason I go to work each day. You're the reason I have the friends I have, sing the songs I sing, breathe the air I breathe. You're bigger than everything that is going on around me. You love me more than anyone can or ever will. Let me rest in that tonight. Let me proclaim Your love to the masses. Use my life, Lord.

Sigh. What a good reminder, Amo. I totally needed to read this today. It's all about Him, no matter what else is happening. When all around is fading and nothing seems to last, He remains. Love you dearheart. Miss you.
