Life Recovery

Resentment, Pride, Greed, Selfishness

I often wonder if I'm having a crisis in faith.  Then again, I know I have faith.  I'm involved with an outreach ministry at our church.  Sometimes I feel like I'm the redheaded bastard stepchild.  I do what I do, because I believe strongly in what I do.  I haven't been able to do what I do, because of illness and surgery.  Now that I am better, I don't feel like doing anything. 

I am having a hard time remembering that all that I do is for God's Glory and NOT for mine.  It is such a struggle for me.  Maybe this is a lesson I'm learning and have to release to Him for guidance. 

I'm pretty frustrated and about to give up.  Then I remember that's the evil one putting these thoughts in my head.  Nothing would make the evil one happier than for me to give up.  But I won't give him the satisfaction.  The one I follow and call Father gives me strength against the evil one.  I just need to draw Him closer.  He hasn't left my side, I have slipped off His path.  Lord God, give me Your strength and courage to win this battle of frustration and remove my resentment, greed, selfishness, envy & frustration.
