Screw Stress Balls

Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God's will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will.

Romans 12:2

God is my stress reliever.

The part of the verse that applies most to me is the transforming and renewing of the mind. I fantasize a lot. As I told Richard while we were studying at the humanities library at Purdue, I daydreamed for a good 5 minutes while I was suppose to be studying.

I find it hard to keep my mind off of somethings. Starcraft, Facebook, you name it. These distractions only hinder me from knowing and being with my God. I've realized that all I really wanted was to love these things, but never allow them to surpass God's #1 slot in my head.

Every little thing is ticking me off this week. But I don't need anger management. I need God.

"I pray for transformation and renewal of my mind. Liberate me from what is currently clouding my judgement. Would you be the light for my path again as I attempt to walk with you again? Save me from my transgressions and quell my anger. For what I am now is not pleasing to you."

God is good, all the [explict] time.

Amen.
