Create in me a clean heart oh God,
And renew a right spirit within me.
Create in me a clean heart oh God,
And renew a right spirit within me.

And cast me not away from
Thy presence oh Lord,
And take not Thy Holy Spirit from me.
Restore unto me the joy of Thy salvation,
And renew a right spirit within me.

You are my strength when I am weak
You are the treasure that I seek
You are my All in All.

God, I pray that you guide our hearts and please take over control.

I've fallen away. The passion in me has faded and my heart has lost its way. Sometimes life gets crowded and for some reason God is the easiest to push away or forget about. I don't want it to be like that. I want God with me at all times.

I've realized why it was so important and crucial for me to make the pact with myself not to date until 365 finishes. And I haven't even started dating, but just the complicated feelings that come along with having really strong feelings for someone.... once their heart is in it, it's not just your own you have to worry about. And now I am worried. I am so worried. Things so far haven't turned out the way I had them turn out in my mind. And it's not his fault at all. He just sits their, minding his own business, his heart all out on his sleeve and I come along, all tainted and messed up and take it? What kind of person does that? No, it's really not that bad, but I do feel scared that I'm going to hurt him. It's too late to pretend nothing was said, but I know it can't go on. I pray God, that you bless with me with more patience.

Do you ever feel like running away? I do. I want to run away, just long enough to figure stuff out. They say you should never run away from your problems, but it would be a whole lot easier then trying to figure them out while still dealing with them. There's a lot of stuff going through my mind. Where do I want to be at the end of 365?
---
Spread wide in the arms of Christ there's a love that covers sin
No greater love have I ever known;
You considered me a friend
Capture my heart again
---
[I'll] be the dreamer of your dreams.

God's Amazing Power

In Christ Alone

In Christ alone my hope is found
He is my light, my strength, my song
This Cornerstone, this solid ground
Firm through the fiercest drought and storm
What heights of love, what depths of peace
When fears are stilled, when strivings cease
My Comforter, my All in All
Here in the love of Christ I stand

In Christ alone, who took on flesh
Fullness of God in helpless babe
This gift of love and righteousness
Scorned by the ones He came to save
'Till on that cross as Jesus died
The wrath of God was satisfied
For every sin on Him was laid
Here in the death of Christ I live

There in the ground His body lay
Light of the world by darkness slain
Then bursting forth in glorious Day
Up from the grave He rose again
And as He stands in victory
Sin's curse has lost it's grip on me
For I am His and He is mine
Brought with the precious blood of Christ

No guilt in life, no fear in death
This is the power of Christ in me
From life's first cry to final breath
Jesus commands my destiny
No power of hell, no scheme of man
Can ever pluck me from His hand
'Till He returns or calls me home
Here in the power of Christ I'll stand
