Asia has been a whirlwind for me.
 
I have felt sluggish and not desiring to do any work for the
Lord. I want to be excited for the work of the Lord. I have wanted to be on
fire for Jesus but I just can’t seem to find it. In the mornings I would roll
out of bed and barely make it to my ministry awake.
 
Philippines, Cambodia, and now Thailand
have been a repeating lack that has been taking over my life. I wasn’t
focusing on the opportunities that the Lord was giving me for the day. I
recognize this hold Satan had in my life before entering
Thailand. I wanted to enter Thailand with a new desire to do His work. I prayed
that God would give me a heart for the people and whatever ministry the Lord
provides.
 
But it still didn’t seem to change anything. I found myself
the past few days sluggishly getting out of bed and trying to find the joy and
energy. All the while I am still dreaming of what I will do when I get home.
 
My focus has been off.
My desires have been off.
My joy almost nonexistent.
 
My day needs to start with Jesus.
 
Just a little bit about the mornings for me. I hate them. I
am cranky and sometimes would practically kill to be back in bed. Just ask my
team, they know. With this in mind I know I can’t spend my time with the
Lord in morning because I can’t even concentrate. I do know that I can
concentrate enough to spend a half an hour in prayer.
 
Every morning I sacrifice 30 minutes of sleep to pray. God
is sooo faithful
. It has been amazing to see just these past few days how
it works. My days have been full of joy and energy. I have been more alive then
ever.
 
Start your day with prayer.
