God,
I am once again in that zone. The Confused Zone for people who are ready to lose their way and get lost in the maze of the devil. That zone where the devil shows us that we are nothing and we can’t achieve. That zone where our own feelings are getting us estranged from the people we love right into the arms of those who can only destroy us. Where our own behaviour and attitude drive us away from our own effectiveness and efficiencies. God, I am in that Zone.
The sad thing about this zone is that we cannot get away from it unless we enlist your assistance. This is a true crossroads of the believing and the unbelieving. This is where people lose their way for good and never come back, or if they do, only when it is too late. This is the point of life where you look at your children with eager and hope that they will have a little more faith in you, and hold on a little more longer.
God, whilst I would really like to know what to do, and see the future much more clearly, I am consoled by the fact that your love for me stands for all time. I am consoled by the fact that my faith in you still stands. I am consoled by the fact that my soul is intact, and I will not give it away even in this situation. I am consoled by the fact that even when I am in the darkness right now, the day to see the light will come. So I will have to stand fast in my faith in you. I have been here too many times before. This time too, will pass.
So, God, in the mighty name of our Mighty Lord Jesus Christ, I claim the strength to get up and go towards the light. Towards the era of knowing what I am doing, where I am going and how I will get there. The era of grounded behaviour and attitude and only way I know how. The era where I still do what I believe in no matter how unpopular it may be perceived by those who have influence in me. I claim the power to take over my life, the decisions I make, and the path I walk. For your word says (Isaiah 41:10):
“Do not be afraid, for I am with you. Do not be anxious, for I am your God. I will fortify you, yes, I will help you, I will really hold on to you with my right hand of righteousness”
In the mighty name of Jesus Christ, I thank you God for thy love. I know that I will be there forever. Blessed are those who dwell in it. Blessing that I claim myself.
Thank you Lord. Amen.
