Freedom and Victory

I've had a good week. My 7 year old son had his first week out of school. We had fun together. We saw the new Narnia movie with friends. That was fun. We slept late. We laid in bed and watched TV together. He's growing so fast and I want to enjoy every moment with him that I can.

Last week, I claimed Psalm 32:7 for my life...For You are my hiding place; You protect me from trouble. You surround me with songs of victory.

I'm grateful that God is my hiding place. I'm grateful that he protects me and gives me victory. After a time of defeat, God brought me back to a place a safety and freedom and victory. For that, I'm grateful.

This week my verse is Psalm 32:8...The Lord says, "I will guide you along the best pathway for your life. I will advise you and watch over you."

This is such a wonderful promise. I'm always talking about doing the next right thing. This week, I will trust God that He is leading me down the BEST pathway for my life. I'm believing that He will advise me and watch over me. Even if things seem scary and seemingly hopeless, I will still believe. God, help me to believe. Help me to not give up. Help to not give in to my disease of addiction. Help me to hunger and thirst after You. Help me to crave You.

This is my prayer. I know that as long as I believe God and as long as I don't pick up a drink, things will be fine. If I keep doing the next right thing, I will be able to enjoy my son all summer long.
