I have tried several different ways (for weeks) to get up at 6am to pray and study the bible, but my body rejects anything before 9am. And by that time my 3 year old son is awake and ready to cause havoc.
I have felt so guilty, thinking "only the true Christ followers get up before the roosters to worship". But tonight I came to realize that as long as I'm seeking Him, it doesn't matter to Him what schedule I make for us.
My time with God will have to be after 11pm til whenever we're done. He's always available and always willing to stay a while. God is Good!
Don't be discouraged in your walk with God. The enemy plants these negative thoughts and feelings to keep us from getting close to our Savior. We have the power in Jesus' name to break free from daily stress, mental & emotional bondage and seek Him who gives everlasting life.
Thank you Father for giving me the outlet to encourage & strengthen my brothers and sisters in Christ. And to be an example to those who don't know you. Touch their hearts and minister to them as they read this. There is NOTHING impossible for you. You are God.
Amen.

Psalm 70:4 NIV
But may all who seek you rejoice and be glad in you; may those who love your salvation always say, "Let God be exalted!"
2 Timothy 1:7
For God did not give us a spirit of timidity, but a spirit of power, of love and of self-discipline.
Matthew 26:41 NIV
Watch and pray so that you will not fall into temptation. The spirit is willing, but the body is weak.
This is for me.. I have been trying to get up early and read Bible and pray. But that is not happening. And I have a 3 month old baby. So time just seems to fly away. When I'm feeding her, I try to read the Bible and sing songs. Even that gets hindered sometimes... I have to fight the enemy!! Thanks for sharing!!
