Five for God?

Too stressed to write a real post today, but someone asked me an interesting question so I thought I’d ask you, too.

If you could communicate your present need to God, but only had five words in which to do it, which five would you choose?

My five words?

Decisions: job? Moving? Relationship? HELP.

You don’t think He minds me using all caps on that last one, do you?

Set me free for freedom.

I’ve been struggling with this one for awhile. It’s from Galatians 5:1. I think it really sums up a lot of who I am-someone who wants to hold on to control of EVERYTHING, someone who gives everything up to God but then starts taking things back from Him (or trying).

It is a really thought-provoking verse for me, because it’s saying that the purpose of being set free is to be free. How do I do that?

There are so many questions I could use some help on! But after a phone call I got this morning from the preschool room mom how about -

Please keep my baby healthy.

That’s pretty much all I think about.

“I can’t live without you.”

That seems to sum it up, since I keep coming up with way more than five words…

I’m lonely. Be my everything.

I’m tired of feeling alone… and I know that as a Christian, I’m never truly alone, but I keep hearing myself say that having God isn’t enough (!!). I’m starting to think that my lonliness won’t be relieved until I allow God to be my everything.

“Slay the dragon of self.”

I wrote this in my prayer journal this morning and thought it was fitting.

Hi! I am a new commentor here, I usually just stalk. Sorry. :(

Anway, when I saw the first comment from Anneke I just felt like I had to respond. I am almost finished with a book called “A Scandalous Freedom” by Steve Brown and it is such a good book on the subject of freedom. It is an easy read too. It might be a good resource for you.

Okay, that was so more than 5 words.

Thanks, Emily! I’ll have to take a look at that.
