My plan is to study each word for a week and learn to apply it to my life in a holy and pure way. There are so many aspects of life that create who we are. I want to be completely purified, I want to be more like Jesus. Through my studies, I am going to look at how Jesus dealt with each and try my best to follow His example. I'm going begin with "Obedience".

My back has been giving me troubles. I've been in a lot of pain over these last few weeks. I went to the doctor and she told me that I need to de-stress. You know, its kind of funny. The pain in my back brings me to my knees. It's heavy you know? It's like God is telling me, give me your burdens Love, I'll take care of it... all you have to do is let me carry the cross... and I'll save you. I'll make you better and I'll give you a fresh start.

Only God can Purify me.
And so I'm giving it all to Him right now.

My Jesus, take my pains and my burdens.
Create in me a clean heart,
renew a Right spirit within me.
I will you seek You in the morning
and I will learn to walk in Your ways.
My heart is Yours forever.
Take it and break it and make it new.
I give it all over to You,
Cleanse me and purify me, Oh God.
Help me learn to trust in You completely and not try to figure out everything myself.
You are my rock.
Be the cornerstone on which I build my life.
I love You forever!
I love You with everything I have!
Thank you Jesus
for loving me too!
And not giving up on me.
We can do this.
We are undefeatable!
Amen
