I had rough patch in my walk and in it I weakened in my faith and afterwards returned to a more legalistic/religious form of faith. I lost that power and joy that came with being filled with the Holy Spirit and I saw it in my life. I hated being able to feel that difference, but that is what has held me in my quest to return to such a faith. Now, again, I see God working into my life true worship, dependence, trust and obedience. The joy of the Spirit and the power in prayer and life are being expressed in me again. I'm thankful that God has given me this grace, that is to be able to return to my first love, to grow hot again after being so warm.
The old hymn still rings true: the only way to be happy in Jesus is to trust and obey.
Father help me and my family in Christ to trust you and to obey you by the power Your Spirit provides and in Jesus' Name. Amen.
