I take out the gospel music I enjoyed when I first came to the Lord-it reminds me of that first love feeling when nothing could shake my faith and I knew beyond all doubt how much Jesus loves me. Next I pour out my honest heart to Him, both in prayer and in my journal, and when I've tear-stained enough pages, I read the Psalms that encourage and lift me back up. It takes effort to do this, but I know it's what I have to do for breakthrough.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14692285385939527592noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6451874990236641064.post-39587745079987432492010-02-17T00:02:07.920-05:002010-02-17T00:02:07.920-05:00What gets me back on track is a nice reminder that...What gets me back on track is a nice reminder that it's not about me. Usually, God will put someone in my path that's going through something that needs prayer and a listening ear. So many hurting people are out there. After helping someone else, it's a gentle reminder to be thankful and that it's not about me, Jesus came to serve and so should I.<br /><br />Thanks!<br />atmcromer@msn.comAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6451874990236641064.post-62538020294648981812010-02-17T00:01:29.613-05:002010-02-17T00:01:29.613-05:00Music...that is one way that God has used in my li...Music...that is one way that God has used in my life to drench my parched soul. There is something so soothing about a praise song or an old, familiar hymn that enables me to get my eyes off myself and fix my eyes on Him.

There are times when I look at my 'thankful' list and think yes, I do have these things but... Thankfully, my Savior is gracious and forgiving & loves me always. <br />Complete honesty? The above is totally true but it is also true that sometimes the dry spell lasts a while and I don't come out of it very well or very fast, but I have recently been finding that the Psalms are very helpful for when I am in a 'dry spell'!mommyof2https://www.blogger.com/profile/16691918382004997043noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6451874990236641064.post-82555326047468601082010-02-16T21:21:15.897-05:002010-02-16T21:21:15.897-05:00Hey, Rachel!!
