Seeing Clearly

I was reading my bible notes this morning before I began some work from the home office... and we've finished the lil stint in the Psalms which was cool.
Now it's onto the centre of life as such - Jesus.

Mark 8 v 22-26

Think of how you first came to Jesus. Think of the people who led you to him.

I am now going to skip out a big chunk of content from the study guide and just go onto the questions at the end of todays notes.

Where is your focus today?

Is your mind consumed by your problems, or are you looking to Jesus?

Only he can set us free to worship God, only he can give is a new perspective.

I am praying for his perspective. I am praying for his heart. I am praying that I can just learn to 'be'. I think about things too much..as some of you may well know. But I think I need to think less about things...and learn to be. I think that when you learn to be relaxed - in your esteem and with who you are, then there's great power found...because there's a clear line of sight.
The response section of the notes talks about allowing my problems to take their rightful place - in the hands of God.

So in an attempt to see more clearly, I am imposing a fast as such. I am not going to be on myspace until Monday. That's...4 days. I shall be fasting all food until Sunday dinner time in the evening.
During this time, I'm praying for church, our pastor, the worship which I'm leading on Sunday and the things that are upon my heart.

My chains are gone I've been set free,
My God my Saviour has ransomed me,
And like a flood his mercy rains,
Amazing Love, Amazing Grace.

I will be on txt and my mobile.

Big love to the whole world.
