Relationship with God Update

Lately it seems as though things have shifted. It suddenly hit me, my relationship with God is actually in a good place. It seems as though those desert times last a while, it is difficult to see how things could get better. They always do and always will.

Music seems to really be the connecting point of my relationship with God. Listening to music while laying down and resting has really been helpful to me. I feel like I am so busy sometimes it is hard to catch up and be consistent. Music is something that affects me so much, having the majority of music on my phone glorifying God is something that has definitely kept me on track.

I have been praying more, which is something hard to get yourself to do, but once you do it, and connect with God it is something you want to continue to do and I am actually enjoying it the more I do it. Praising God in my prayers has kept me humble in perspective to how wonderful, good, and gracious he is to us. He doesn't need us but that he wants us despite all our failures just really says a lot about his character.

Reading the bible more is something I am growing in, it is so easy to get caught up in other things. It doesn't really matter what you do in your devotions. There are many times I have an idea of how my devotions will go, but most often he leads me to things I didn't think of, or plan. Sometimes I stick with my idea during devotions, but when he prompts me with idea it is more enjoyable, refreshing and satisfying more then anything my human mind came up with.

I am actually feeling better, and my mood is better, life is more enjoyable. I am still working through difficulties, but they are not easier to deal with, but my mind is more focused on God then my struggles, and i think that has made a huge difference, and I couldn't have done any of this on my own. God is the one who is sovereign and helpful in every way
