I’ve been battling myself for several days.
I’m not enough of this.
I’m too much of that.
I’m not doing enough.
I’m doing too much.
I’m never good enough.
When I sat down to post tonight, I truly didn’t know what I was going to say. My mind was full of negative thoughts about myself. Then I started typing. All those sentences start with “I”. Proof once again, it’s all about focus. The victory comes when I forget about myself and let God work through me.
There are times when I need to examine myself and make adjustments. But letting my mind go wild with thoughts of inadequacy is not productive and does not bring glory to my Lord. I do not need to focus on myself, because God is focused on me. I can’t beat that.
Father God, I come to you in the name of Jesus. Forgive me Lord for focusing too much on myself. I am Your vessel and I am full of Your Glory. I am Your hands and Your feet. I will draw on You and Your unlimited supply of love. I will not clog up the flow of blessing that comes from You, through me, to others. I love you Lord and I am Yours.
This song came to me after praying, so I thought I’d post it too.

Becky,
a great post!
I love your words... 'I do not need to focus on myself, because God is focused on me. I can't beat that.'
How true!
Focus... a small word but what a huge impact it has in our lives. I also see myself often being the center of my focus and it is never a peaceful, relaxing, or fun place to be! Thank you for the reminder & for getting my focus back on who God is! (love the song!)
That is a beautiful post! That is one of my favorite songs. You are such a sweet and thoughtful person. God loves you and is so proud of you.
Sometimes the "I's" in life are hard. *I* certainly experience that. But God is doing a wonderful work in you. : )
