Me talking in my group chat this morning.

“Good morning brothers in Christ, pray for me, I’m so tired and grumpy this morning that I feel like a spectator in my own body watching my bad behavior. Trying to redeem the day, but I’m cooked and I need God’s strength, and y’all’s prayers.” 7:58 AM

“Oddly enough, angrily praying and wrestling with God about what was going on in my heart, I realized what was actually making me so angry. I was angry with myself for submitting to my own flesh. I woke up late, I was snippy with my wife, and I just couldn’t get rid of my head fog. I really didn’t get much done at work yesterday, and there were a couple *simple* but boring tasks that I just decided not to do.

I was praying and saying how I’m sick of submitting to other people, but what I was actually mad about, was I was submitting to my flesh instead of the Holy Spirit. Absolutely astounding how subversive the flesh is. That is honestly not what I would have ever guessed if I hadn’t wrestled with God in my heart this morning. Just thought I’d share.” 8:13 AM

“Long story short, God is good, and I have reconciled my flesh with God and been given peace. Let’s get this bread.” 8:14 AM
