Injustice

I feel awful that of all the injustice in the world sometimes we focus on the simple, silly ones that directly effect us. While there are thousands of women being sold as sex slaves by their own families, or young boys being forced to kill in wars they know nothing about. While there are people in villages that don't know what it's like to have clean water or a consistent meal. While some innocent children don't know what a safe, comfortable shelter is tonight. Still, we worry about who is texting who, if she is really 'just a friend', why this person doesn't like us. We compare ourselves, as women, to other women. It's an injustice in itself, our ignorance, our selfishness, our vanity.

It makes me sick.

I have been convicted of the things my mind aimlessly wanders to before it turns to God. What do I wake up thinking about? Who do I make a priority in my day? Why?

I have challenged myself to turn every thought that is either negatively destructive or about a guy (ANY guy) into a prayer. This sounds a little crazy but it has truly held me accountable for my thoughts.

He is a double-minded man, unstable in all his ways.

James 1:8

I'm sure you can imagine the abundance of moments I've needed to hit those knees & I do.
There is power in prayer, freedom in being honest with yourself about your intentions, priorities, motives. There is clarity in seeking the Lord through trouble.

Then they cried to the Lord in their trouble, and He delivered them from their distress. He made the storm be still, and the waves of the sea were hushed. Then they were glad that the waters were quiet, and He brought them to their desired haven.

Psalm 107: 28-30

Mostly, I don't want the result of my Godless chatter (gossip, even if it isn't spoken) or my lustful, wishful thinking about relationships or men to be an injustice to my Savior. He is worth so much more & until I make Him the biggest priority of all, I am also doing an injustice to myself. 


What you have is what you'll give, Dani. 
What do you want to give?
Now, what do you need to do to obtain that?
What is your 'desired haven'?


God, you are all I want. I want to find everything through you or not at all. 


Take some time to evaluate yourself. Shed light on things of distraction or that you allow yourself to spend lots of time thinking of & pray instead.

Pray.
