March 3, 2012

I am beginning to get an idea of why we are here. My friend Cindy had talked about needing some cabin time and I thought ‘we have cabin time!’. Well that is exactly where I am. I have been taken and set apart for a season and if I cannot get quiet here and learn how to talk to my Lord more effectively and without distractions. Then I cannot do it anywhere.

Like I said I have been listening to some of the Beth Moore Breaking Free videos. I do not have them all but I do have several saved to my desktop from when I had the Bible Study at my home. The one I just listened to for the second time (the first time was at night and I fell asleep) was about the necessity of prayer in our personal freedom from bondage. A truth I knew, but one I need to get better at doing for myself.

It isn’t until we become serious can we break free from whatever it is that holds us back. She made some good points about freedom. If we are comfortable enough with our bondage we will not seek freedom. It is not until we hate it and what it has done to us that we will be ready to accept the freedom that God has for us.

So for the next five weeks I will set out on a journey to discover a prayer life that no longer will be subject to distractions; but one that will help me to draw close to the very heart and mind of Jesus.
