A list of only a few of various states of my own mind I’ve experienced during tonight’s prayer time. Goodness, I had no idea how quickly the state of my mind could change from one to another. I found myself getting uncontrollable with thoughts and emotions. I was eating myself alive. The world was eating me alive through my own mind. There existed only darkness, and I could not stop myself.
9 How can a young person stay on the path of purity?
By living according to your word.
10 I seek you with all my heart;
do not let me stray from your commands.
11 I have hidden your word in my heart
that I might not sin against you.
12 Praise be to you, LORD;
teach me your decrees.
13 With my lips I recount
all the laws that come from your mouth.
14 I rejoice in following your statutes
as one rejoices in great riches.
15 I meditate on your precepts
and consider your ways.
16 I delight in your decrees;
I will not neglect your word.Psalm 119:9-16 NIV
Everything about me, every part of my body, every piece of my mind screams out for YOU, YOU, YOU! It drives me nuts.
