I know you must be thinking, "Beth Moore, Beth Moore, Beth Moore." And in the same tone that my kids use when they say, "blah, blah, blah, blah, blah."
I just have to share something else Beth talked about in the Daniel study, specifically from Daniel chapter 6.
Three ways to react in an emergency:
We can panic.
We can become paralyzed.
We can pray.
I'll admit, often for me it's panic followed by becoming paralyzed. When I listened to this portion of Beth's teaching several weeks ago, I thought, "Yep, that's me, alright." I do pray but it's not my immediate response unless a panicked, "God, help me!" counts. I wanted to be different but I wasn't hoping for application soon.
Today, instead of letting my imagination makes images of places that are not healthy for me right now, I have taken every thought captive, and PRAYED.
I can feel your prayers, I really can.
Like Daniel I want to practice a holy habit long enough that it becomes the old pattern.

You have been added to my prayer list. Hang in there.
I had a rough night. I woke at 3AM and really had to pray and plead the blood so that I didn't let anxiety get the best of me. I'm not suprised actually--I should expect Satan to fight today--we have prayer and fasting planned over lunch.
