Fear, is the answer. Fear brought me to God. Fear in knowing that continuing my will and my ways, doing the best I knew how on my own, would end in disaster. Learning how to remove the many fears in my life, is the solution. Once I’ve surrendered to God, and find myself genuinely asking him “please show me the way, the path, HOW do I follow you?!” the answer to this dilemma is simple. Find the Fear. Wherever in my mind Fear exists, that is a highlighter to where I must go, and take the Trust I have found in God with me to crush it and over come it. Fear of being alone. Fear of going in public. Fear of going to church. Fear of leaving a relationship. Fear of telling someone the truth. Fear of a diagnosis. Fear of failing. Fear of changing jobs. Fear of letting go of things, places, or people. All of these, Faith in God that He will have my back and provide everything I need exactly when I need it, can and will defeat the Fear. God, give me the strength and courage to face my fears, and make the decisions in my heart I know you want me to make. Give me the courage to rely on your promises to make these changes, trusting your plan for me is far greater than my own. Give me the courage to burn the ships, Amen 🙏🏻

If we are honest with ourselves, with each other, and especially with our heavenly Father, we would have to say that the desires of our minds and hearts don't always line up. If they did, we wouldn't need a Savior. Oh how we need His grace and mercy.

Every day, every time I talk to our wonderful Heavenly Father I ask Him to send the Holy Spirit to search my mind, heart, spirit and soul to make sure there is nothing hidden anywhere within me that shouldn’t be there. It is a constant battle because the enemy knows our every weakness and is constantly trying to sneak something in that would distract our mind, heart, spirit or soul away from God. It might be an attractive young lady that walks by and smiles so he try’s to a lustful thought. It might be a child or your pet that does something they shouldn’t do and he gets you to react in a way that is to harsh or any other thing he thinks he can distract a part of us from our walk with father. So we have to pray constantly the God keeps every part of our being in the might place and ask God to help us each time we see, do, hear or say something that is contrary to God Word and Will.

I know for me I have to surrender everyday to God's will for me and this world. In that letting go my heart gets right with God because I'm accepting his will. I will always have to work this important daily ritual with God in order to have a chance at my heart being right. Some days are easier than others. But with a little self compassion amd remembering Jesus died for all of us and our sins it can be washed away. That brings me peace that I'm always accepted by God. So my heart can be full and not the deep chasm it once was. Thank you God for the harsh times. Without them I am certain I'd still be completely aimless in this world.

Nope they are not the same but I continue to thank the Lord for the daily trials and tribulations! Just know if you didn’t battle, you are headed in the wrong direction! Keep fighting brothers!

I know my heart says to trust God re Covid but my mind (& my wife) told me I needed to provide for the household, so I got the vax & continued working.
The bible says to trust God in all things but it also says to obey the law of the land unless it goes against the commands of the Lord.

It is a constant battle. Honestly there are days where I feel like I'm losing the battle. I want them to be in sync and desire Jesus. I pray each day that today would be the day. Lord help me, search my heart, search my thoughts. Give me Jesus!

My mind is often distructed by earthly desires and then my heart finds no rest. Oh God help me to focus on unshakeable and unseen things so that my life honors you.

No, they are not the same and I pray they become so. I pray to be closer to God, always.
157/365: Get Your Mind Right
...whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things. ~ Philippians 4: 8
A legacy is built one day at a time. And each day we have a choice to dwell on things that carry us away from God's best for us... or we dwell on things that take us closer to God's best for us.
A man who gets his mind right - will get his life right. A man who gets his heart right - will get his mind right.
Go Deeper: Psalm 119:1-16
NEXT STEP: What is the desire of your mind? what is the desire of your heart? Are they the same?
