Confession

I need some prayer right now...

I have been idolizing cars lately. My beetle recently had to have a rebuilt engine put in ($2000 August) and then just yesterday we picked it up from the shope for some other $350 dollar expense. Then this morning the check engine light came on again...I called Reed and apparently the catalytic converter isn't quite right from the last time it got replaced, so the repair guys left it and told Reed we should take it back to the shop who first did it so they can fix it for free.

Everytime something goes wrong with it, I instantly let my mind reel on ways that we can fix it.

I am having a hard time not taking control and just simply trusting and knowing that God WILL provide. Not might, but will.

It's hard, because I get frustrated about having a car that breaks all the time. I really WANT either to win or just get a new car. I will be honest, I feel like I deserve it. To the point where that is all my mind thinkgs about.

It's become and idol in my thoughts which is reflective of where my heart is.

So yeah, if you could pray for me, not for a car, but for this idol to be removed. That my heart would solely belong to the Lord and that I would let the things of this world drift off my thoughts like the fleeting things they are.

Lord, help me to experience YOU today and everyday...help me to let that be more than enough for me. Help to free me from the things of the world that pull on my heart, specifically a car. Help me to have true faith. Help me to walk in that faith, especially when things do not go according to my plan. Amen.
