Admittedly, my view about the Holy Spirit has changed somewhat, but the rest still very much applies as it did the day I wrote this. So often, I have lost spiritual battles because I refused to fight; it seems so much easier to give in, and yet by doing so we sacrifice victory in Christ, who can give us victory in all things.<\/p>\n
\u201cPassionately Devoted\u201d<\/p>\n
Lord, when I think of the way that I live, I am often filled with shame
\nWhen I consider how many other things I do instead of praising Your holy name.
\nI know the things that I ought to do, but I choose to do them not.
\nI know that I should call upon You for strength, but fail to act when the battle is to be fought.
\nCleanse me from impure thoughts, O God; fill me afresh with the Holy Ghost,
\nSo that I may serve You with passion as I serve You with my all, not just almost.
\nI have stumbled and lost my way, like a sheep wandering from the fold.
\nBring me back to Your presence, Lord; may Your light in my life be as bright as pure gold.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
