Friday Matters

Everyday Flesh

I have a strong will. I’m sure someone listening right now can totally relate to the fact that while our spirits may be strong and willing our flesh fails us time and time again. The flesh does not conquer the spirit. The flesh is weak - as Jesus said - and the flesh is a stumbling block to our spirit. What I eat or drink can be good or the amount of time I spend scrolling on social media has its place but when my flesh dominates, I don’t eat, drink or spend time on social media in a way that is healthy. Jesus tells us we do not "watch and pray".

My prayer is this simple, “God You’re stronger. You live in me. I pray Your Spirit leads me in truth and not my feelings by the flesh.” Sharing areas of weaknesses with someone also helps with accountability and strength too. Jesus is for you and He’s not mad at you when you do fall. He will help you get back up with strength and courage to keep on keeping on. He loves you…everyday.
