Dear Lord, I don’t want to be in a bad mood. Help me to flip out of it quicker today than yesterday. It feels so much better when I am abiding in your peace and love. Give me the wisdom and strength to remember I am not my circumstance. I am your child and have your spirit and mind dwelling within me. Resurrect your confident, joy-filled attitude within my thought life so that when people see me they are uplifted and encouraged by your presence in and through me. Help me to die more to myself today than yesterday. I have learned that selfishness and unhappiness walk hand in hand.

We ask that God opens up the answers in this area. Let us also take this knowledge to grow our kingdom and fulfill our purpose here in this life.

Come Holy Spirit and teach me how to live and move and have my being in the presence of my all loving and merciful God. I don’t trust my mind or my tongue, that too often speaks what’s on my mind. Help me to take every thought captive and make it obedient to you. HELP me, I’m sinking. Today, now moving forward I give more authority to your strength, wisdom and love within me than to circumstances around me. I am YOUR ambassador for your GLORY, make your appeal for love and mercy in this world through me. Here I am Lord, SEND ME OUT.

Want a Change of Heart?

Edge God In Podcast 75: Want a Change of Heart? Today’s podcast explores a process to make that happen.

Sin: Greek translation is hamartia: to miss the mark

Repentance: Greek translation is metanoia: to have a change of heart or mind

Sin is missing the mark and repentance is getting back to Jesus, our target for inner peace and confidence. FEAR fuels behaviors that often result in sin, envy, anger outbursts, shaming and blaming, judgements. Jesus paid our price and calls us to begin again quicker each time we miss the mark. We have an advocate to help us experience a change of heart.
