Other times I need to be with God because I’m feeling pulled into something I know is not part of His plan for me. I see something new I can’t afford. How easy it is to justify my way to the checkout line, whip out a credit card and decide to deal with the consequences later! Maybe it’s a relationship we know is not in God’s will. Or a particular eating habit we know isn’t healthy for us. Whatever it is, we don’t have to be rendered powerless by this pull. We can pray, “God, I know You are more powerful than this pull I am feeling. I know this thing I think I want so much will only provide temporary pleasure. I know the consequences of making this choice will rob me of joy and peace in the near future. Through Your power, I am making the choice to walk away. I will find my delight in You and look forward to feeling Your fullness replace the emptiness this desire creates.” Excerpt from Proverbs 31 Ministries
