"Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. Draw near to God, and he will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners, and purify your hearts, you double-minded." (James 4:7, 8 ESV)
i find myself growing weary: drained from the past two weeks of examinations; sapped of energy, and lacking in motivation to remain stedfast in prayer.
i find myself succumbing to temptation: while my spirit willingly resists, my flesh, inevitably, gives up loathsomely.
"Those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength"
These words hang across the walls of the auditorium, in which i sit. A wonderful promise, but before i slothfully claim it, let me first wholeheartedly submit, and draw near to God (and fleeing the devil.)
