My hope is that I will hear from my Lord and He will guide me, make His way straight before my face.  I have such a hard time meditating or keeping quiet long enough to know what He desires of me.  I want God to lead me, not my sinful ways, I\u2019m so disparate to know what I should be doing.  At times I feel His presence and I know I \u2018m in His will, but so often I feel lost and confused and waste the precious time God has blessed me with.<\/p>\n<p>Application: I need to spend more quality time with my Lord and be quiet in His presence.  I know God knows my heart and desire to please Him and I need to trust that He will guide me.  I truly want to please Him and He knows it, but I\u2019m so lazy and self-centered.  I need to give my life totally to my Lord and listen for His guidance.<\/p>\n<p>Prayer:  My Lord speak to me and command me on what You want me to do.  Take all distractions from me and show me the path you want me on.  I have only one purpose and that is to obey, so command your servant, for you deserve all of my love, obedience, praise and time.  <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Scripture Psalms 5:8 Lead me, O LORD, in Your righteousness because of my enemies; Make Your way straight before my face.
