I told God that I feel like I'm in a hurricane right now and it's crazy! Then I read your wonderful words on fixing on God and it really pulled it all together. I pray so often for God to fix things and people, and all the while I'm fixed on those things and people - like I'm pointing them out to God.<br /><br />Thank you Laura. You inspire me with every blog.<br /><br />Cindybrookel12https://www.blogger.com/profile/10574333920585944719noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6456387438971149721.post-50266596595013705302009-09-18T07:04:57.930-05:002009-09-18T07:04:57.930-05:00Oh Wow!

Its one thing to know we are to be focused on Him... its another to actually lay things down and focus on Him. That is powerpacked... it means alot... Focus... lots of stuff packed in that word. <br /><br />"I have set the LORD always before me.

I have never posted a comment on your blog ...Laura,<br />I have never posted a comment on your blog before. However, I have enjoyed reading it. I was directed to your site by my daughter, Ashley McWhorter. I pray for you often, as am I praying for other dear friends that for that are also battling cancer.<br /><br />Thank you for your words of wisdom about "fixing" on things other than God. Sometimes it does not even sound wrong to focus on a certain fix! But when I realized that I was praying with the wrong motives (as you spoke of) - usually for God to "fix" my situation. After many many times of falling on my face before God with the feeling of defeat - I realized that I was praying wrong all along. I focused on praying for God's divine will, His wisdom, His instruction, and His mercy and grace throughout it all. <br /><br />Thank you Laura for your sweet words! I am praying for you!<br />Julie MarlerJulie Marler (Mammy)https://www.blogger.com/profile/02877237257829764275noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6456387438971149721.post-89096992948421791252009-09-18T00:27:07.276-05:002009-09-18T00:27:07.276-05:00Good news about your brother's test...I really...Good news about your brother's test...I really enjoyed listening to Chris speak tonight at church.
