Yet I am always with you;
   you hold me by my right hand.
You guide me with your counsel,
   and afterward you will take me into glory.
Whom have I in heaven but you?
   And earth has nothing I desire besides you.
My flesh and my heart may fail,
   but God is the strength of my heart
   and my portion forever. 

Psalm 73:23-26

Journal Entry, April 2011

Lord, help me to remember that I am nothing without You. I am nothing in my other relationships without You. Please help me to not lose focus. Help me to stay connected to the vine. Please be the center of my life. Be my one desire. I'm almost afraid to ask You that, because I know the pain that has come after that plea in the past. 

But whatever it takes, 

Lord, I am willing.
