Most of my life I didn\u2019t fill any purpose, but God has been able to use my failings for His glory.  Nothing I do on my own is worthy, but doing things out of my obedience for God is used for His glory.  I look back at my life and think what a mess, but with God\u2019s grace it has become an instrument for God to use.<\/p>\n<p>Application: Continue to stay close to God and be in His will knowing that He is always with me.  To stay humble knowing anything that I do has already been done according to God\u2019s purpose and not mine.  The life I live now is a privilege knowing that God is able to use a sinner like me.<\/p>\n<p>Prayer Dear Lord thank you for using me.  May I always see your purpose for my life and be guided by the Holy Spirit.  I\u2019m not sure how many more days you have appointed for me, but may each one be used for your glory.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Scripture 2 Timothy 1:9 who has saved us and called us with a holy calling, not according to our works, but according to His own purpose and grace which was given to us in Christ Jesus before time began, Observation: It\u2019s till amazing that God had a purpose for me even before I was born. &hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":8052,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[41],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-8051","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-daily-devotional"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/gettingoverdepression.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8051","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/gettingoverdepression.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/gettingoverdepression.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gettingoverdepression.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gettingoverdepression.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=8051"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/gettingoverdepression.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8051\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":8053,"href":"https:\/\/gettingoverdepression.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8051\/revisions\/8053"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gettingoverdepression.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/8052"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/gettingoverdepression.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=8051"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gettingoverdepression.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=8051"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gettingoverdepression.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=8051"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
