I wanted to learn all I could and make a difference.  I was like a child seeing things for the first time and every day in amazement of the new things I discovered with my new heart.  But now it seems to almost be a burden to serve and I make excuses.  I don\u2019t see new things, but I am in a rut dreading another passing day, not looking forward to what God has in store for me.<\/p>\n<p>Application: I need to ask God to open my eyes to Hid wonders again.  I need to get my zeal for serving back and get on track of what God wants of me.  I need to see his miracles every day because He surrounds me with them.  It\u2019s time to bear a harvest of fruit in his name.  I have the talents, gifts, testimony and strength He has given me and I need to use it to further His kingdom.<\/p>\n<p>Prayer: Dear Lord I repent of my laziness and willingness to allow to Satan destroy my joy.
