Day 34 - Overweight Physically and Underweight Spiritually

Finally caught up with my posts...I am glad to report that I have been reading the Made to Crave Devotional daily, just not posting about it.

"If you want to be perfect [whole], go, sell your possessions and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven.  Then come, follow me."  Matthew 19:21

Thought for the Day:  Nothing changes until we make the choice to redirect our misguided cravings to the only one capable of satisfying them.

pg110 "Jesus meant his comment for anyone who wallows in whatever abundance they have.  I imagine Jesus looked straight into this man's soul and said, 'I want you to give up the one thing that you crave more than me."

Prayer:
Dear Lord, I admit that there are plenty of times that I am overweight physically and underweight spiritually.  Help me to give up anything I crave more than You.  I want to redirect my misguided cravings to You because You are the only one capable of satisfying them.  In Jesus' name.  Amen.

To work on redirecting my misguided cravings I have taken to prayer journaling before I go to sleep.  It has been helpful to write out to God what is going on in my head & it has actually been helping me to sleep straight through the night.  I haven't been able to do that on a consistent basis for years like over a decade.  I am grateful that God loves me through my mistakes and my stumbling!
