I was made for more

Being on a fast makes reading my daily devotions seem to draw me closer to God.  But of course that is what I am praying for - to grow closer to God; to understand and accept things that happen and I cannot control.  

During my devotion today this came to me-

I was made for more 

I was made for more than the guilt I feel for not living my past life right. 

I was made for more than the chocolate I crave in the middle of the night.

I was made for more than the bathroom scale says I am. 

and I was made for more than I am able to think I can.

You are made for more too.  What ever you are going through, what ever war is waging inside of you, you are made for more.  

I am going to focus on trying NOT to change things out of my control,  it just brings out that “out of control freaked out woman” that I loathe so much, and fires up the three ring circus in my head.  Better to just remember this verse when I am feeling like jumping of the edge.

Trust in the Lord with all your heart;
    do not depend on your own understanding.

Seek his will in all you do,
    and he will show you which path to take. Proverbs 3:5-6
