Hope
It's when i get into the Word that hope is the strongest. My time away from it brings doubt and depression.

And he humbled thee, and suffered thee to hunger, and fed thee with manna, which thou knewest not, neither did thy fathers know; that he might make thee know that man doth not live by bread only, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of the Lord doth man live. (Deuteronomy 8:3 KJV)
The desire of God to teach me, that it is only by His hand that I live today. He has sustained me, His word has kept me going these years of financial difficulty, lack, want. The process of learning obedience has been and is a slow process because of old stubborn ways. Don't fight Gods plan, but rather embrace itWhen I begin to think, wow I'm holy, strong, then out of the blue, I'm in a battle. Battle for purity, righteous thoughts, actions now I'm fighting, casting down thoughts and imaginations. No confidence in the flesh, because at its core it's corrupt. Paul did say this corruptible must but on incorruption. I'm trying with the help of Jesus, to remove every trace of the man that I used to be… I'm not the same, but not content to remain where I am. Jesus has been too good and done too much for me to go back. Oh that I would be a slave to righteousness!!
