From A Praying Life: Connecting with God in a Distracting World, by Paul E. Miller
"“Underneath her obedient life is a sense of helplessness. It has become part of her very nature … almost like breathing. Why? Because she is weak. She can feel her restless heart, her tendency to compare herself with others. She is shocked at how jealousy can well up in her. She notices how easily the world gets its hooks into her. In short, she distrusts herself. When she looks at other people, she sees the same struggles. The world, the flesh, and the Devil are too much for her. The result? Her heart cries out to God in prayer. She needs Jesus.”
I subscribe to a blog called Warrior Prayers and a while back she shared this post. I found it again today and it couldn't have come at a better time! I am feeling defeated and run down when it comes to being Cades mom. After a morning filled with an abundance of "no's", hitting, pushing and just down right disobedience I totally needed this reminder that I can't do it on my own and I need to turn it over to God in prayer.
