This morning I awoke with a troubled spirit. I began to write about it in my journal not being able to put a finger on the root of it. I had a text last night from one I’ve been counseling for most of a year. We had met late last week. She was hoping we could meet again soon as much trouble had arisen in their home. I suggested a time for tomorrow trying to keep today free. Her response was a hope for Monday–today. Along with this I am seeing a family member earlier today who is dealing with much anxiety. As I was journaling all of this I began to see a very dark evil which awakened me to the root of my troubled spirit. At this moment I began to see God’s Light and Its Purpose–permeate the darkness. I surrendered this darkness to the Light of Jesus knowing the darkness must flee in His presence. These two opportunities to help others find Jesus in the midst of their storms will be today’s purpose.

When the journaling first started I was having my own attacks wanting to step into old temptations. “Just set aside all of this and enjoy a moment of gratification,” was the evil’s temptation. The root of evil–Satan himself, has so many deceptive ways which man can, in his flesh, sees as pleasure. Today, this very morning, God’s Light is shining. I have put my trust in God and surrendered. I know His Spirit will be present and I’ve prayed He is already working in each one’s life and they are responding to Him.

God Light has replaced my troubled spirit with an anticipation to see Him work today. To God be all Glory!
