I've been reading the book Fervent by Priscilla Shirer the past few days. Talk about recharging your soul; WOW! Today I read through chapter 3, which is about how Satan tries to dull your passion and uses the world, emotion, and so many other ways of disrupting and corrupting what God desires your passions to be. The Lord definitely convicted my heart on this one and reminded me of His amazing power! I refuse to stop feeding Satan's ego because I know my God is FAR more powerful than he will ever be! Here is my prayer from this reading...

DEAR HEAVENLY FATHER,

THANK YOU FOR LOVING ME. THANK YOU FOR RAISING ME AS YOUR CHILD AND ADOPTING ME INTO AN AMAZING FAMILY! THANK YOU FOR SHOWING ME THE TRUTH! LORD YOU ARE SO GOOD TO ME AND I AM SO UNDESERVING. PLEASE FORGIVE MY SIN LORD. FORGIVE ME FOR ALL THE TIMES I HAVE ALLOWED SATAN TO DULL MY PASSION AND FOR ALLOWING HIM TO USE ME TO DULL THE PASSION OF OTHERS. FORGIVE ME FOR LETTING SATAN THINK EVEN FOR A MOMENT THAT HE HAS EVEN A TINY SPECK OF POWER OVER YOU LORD. LORD YOU KNOW MY PASSIONS: MY FAMILY, CHILDREN, ESPECIALLY MY OWN, BUT MOSTLY THOSE HURTING LIKE HAVE LORD. PLEASE LORD HELP ME TO REMEMBER TO FIGHT THE TRUE ENEMY AND TO SHOW LOVE AND COMPASSION TO YOUR CHILDREN. REMIND ME LORD THAT PEOPLE LIVING IN SIN AND MAKING BAD CHOICES IS SATAN'S WAY OF DIMMING MY HOPE AND LORD HELP ME BE A LIGHT FOR YOUR SALVATION. LORD USE ME AS A VESSEL TO HELP OTHERS KNOW YOU BY MY WORDS AND ACTIONS. LET ME FOCUS ON LOVE, YOUR LOVE LORD, AND SHARING THAT LOVE WITH EVERY PERSON I COME IN CONTACT WITH. USE ME LORD AS YOUR SERVANT. HELP ME REMOVE MYSELF FROM EVERY SITUATION AND ONLY SPEAK YOUR WILL AND YOUR TRUTHS. STOP SATAN FROM DISTRACTING ME WITH PEOPLE AND THINGS AND HELP ME INSTEAD FOCUS ONLY ON WHAT YOU WANT FROM ME. HELP ME REMEMBER LORD THAT YOU WILL KEEP US AND TAKE CARE OF US FOR WE ARE YOURS. HELP ME REMEMBER THAT SATAN IS THE KING OF ALL LIES AND THAT YOU ARE THE WAY THE TRUTH AND THE LIFE. HELP ME STAY STRONG AND NOT GROW WEARY IN DOING GOOD FOR MY REWARD AWAITS WHEN I STAND BESIDE YOU IN HEAVEN LORD. I CLAIM ALL OF THESE PROMISES IN YOUR SONS HOLY AND PRECIOUS NAME LORD.

IN THE NAME OF JESUS,

AMEN
