I really love this post and it was exactly what I needed to hear, especially the line about "And how can God answer my prayers when I spend half of my time accusing Him?"<br />That describes me so well right now. I am waiting and trusting God to do so many great things in my life, but I'm also railing against Him, being angry with Him, and saying, "Why are You doing this to me, God?!?" It is extremely double-minded, and I greatly appreciate you pointing that out in those terms. <br />Lately my mind has been so busy stressing, worrying, and praying for deliverance that it's hard to fall asleep at night, it's hard to have any quiet moments with myself, and it's even difficult to stop the inner thoughts long enough to say a coherent prayer! So I've been working on quieting my mind & "being still", and focusing on God, and learning to drown everything else out. It's working, but I still have a long way to go until I can just sit in God's presence and be quiet enough to possibly hear His voice. I think that's what I'm afraid of: that He is trying to speak to me, or move in me, but I'm too stressed & crazed to hear Him. Nice blog! I'll check back! I have 2 blogs, if you'd care to check them out! www.mylsquaredlife.blogspot.com, and www.healthylivingjesusstyle.blogspot.comRachel Lawshehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10243295057649431530noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1275093875837046665.post-29252444046431547692011-09-11T14:14:03.204-07:002011-09-11T14:14:03.204-07:00grrr.... my whole comment just deleted. i basicall...grrr.... my whole comment just deleted. i basically said OW i needed to hear this and to ask if you'd ever read till we have faces by cs lewis? he speaks of accusing the gods in that book that is very reminiscent of this post.Mistyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06971852036197350639noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1275093875837046665.post-33160134992012142252011-09-07T18:21:09.058-07:002011-09-07T18:21:09.058-07:00Double mindedness is a tool of the enemy, I am con...Double mindedness is a tool of the enemy, I am convinced. I so want to be single focused when it comes to my spiritual life, but something is always there to distract and make me question. Looking forward to this journey with you!Melissa, Multi-Tasking Mamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04552463538625125742noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1275093875837046665.post-73084028655580104612011-09-07T12:49:13.094-07:002011-09-07T12:49:13.094-07:00I, too, struggle with double-mindedness.

One of my favorite verses in the Bible is Mark 9:24. ”I do believe; help me overcome my unbelief!” I've been reading "The 4:8 Principle" and a lot of it has to do with not going by what our feelings at any given time are. I can choose how I react to things and how I think. I haven't mastered it yet, maybe one day!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1275093875837046665.post-26856954432675055622011-09-07T12:45:36.779-07:002011-09-07T12:45:36.779-07:00Very encouraging.
