On track

So, I never like to admit it when I'm in a spiritual funk. That being said, I've been in one for a while. Talking to a friend recently, I finally admitted this out loud and asked for prayer about it. This weekend I got to visit my home church in Webberville, hear some things from the pastor I really needed, catch up with some old friends, and talk with them about all this as well. It was a long but very necessary weekend.

I have been exposed to a lot of spiritual influences since being in Idaho this fall, and not all of them healthy. The different philosophies and ideas about God I've had floating around my thoughts led to a spiritual darkness and laziness. "What is truth? Should I approach God this way or this way? How close to God are other religions? How close are any of us?" These are the sort of questions which I've been thinking about. They are important ones to wrestle with, no doubt, but I was being led to answers which were not spiritually beneficial for me. I was swaying with every new wind of doctrine. This morning God reminded me I can approach him with confidence through Christ. Though I am a man of unclean lips, I should not step back from God in guilt, but step forward in hope with each realisation of my unholiness to accept the burning coal and be purified.

Although I have had dark times in my life, God always brings me back and reminds me of His goodness. Thanks be to Him.

I would appreciate your prayers in this. Thank you.

Peace.
