My Prison

Why are you crying these days?  Are you reaching out for something but you don't know what?  Has all the adventure gone from your life?  You try prayers but they are timid, shallow and hollow, and you are in desperate need.  You lift up your voice to the Lord and cry out for mercy.  You are unhappy with your life and nothing satisfies you.

You are locked up in your own prison.  You remember how happy you once were and you want that feeling back.  Out of prison and back in the will of the Father is where you need to be.  God says to not fear for He will help you.  He gives strength to the weary when you stumble and fall.  God says, "Those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength.  They will soar on wings like eagles: they will run and not  grow weary, they will walk and not grow faint".

Are you tired of living like a turkey, searching for acorns on the ground, while others soar on eagle's wings far above the earth?  God will free you from your prison and give you wings to fly if you will seek His face.  But you have drifted so far from the truth, that you feel you can't find it in your heart.

Its time to get off your feet and on your knees and cry out, "Hold me Jesus, deliver me from this darkness inside of me".  Realize that yesterday's gone and there is a new day just waiting on you.  Pray for forgiveness and He will restore you, for you will never be happy outside of God's will for your life.  He will take you by your right hand and lead you out of your own prison, away from all the turkeys in your life.

What you need is to restore fellowship with the Father and with Jesus.  Also fellowship with others who soar like eagles is very important.  If we walk in the light, and He is the light, we have fellowship one with another, and Jesus who purifies us by His blood shed for us.  Now if we say we do not sin, we deceive ourselves and the truth is not in us.  But if we confess our sins, He is faithful and just and will forgive us and purify us from all unrighteousness.

Don't settle for a second rate life; there is a rawness and wonder about it.  Listen to the voice of adventure, God's adventure, and build a fire in your heart.  Go ahead and make a difference:  teach that class, tell that friend about Jesus, and follow God's impulses.

You will find yourself flying like an eagle, but most of all:

Jesus will come and lead you out of "your own prison".
