~Life is Fragile, Handle With Prayer~

I've realized that I'm most successful with staying raw when I'm making sure to start my day, yes, with a smoothie, & stretching/moving, but most of all, with prayer~
When I just jump out of bed & get going on my day, {especially if I've slept in later than i wanted to!} the whole day feels different that the days i spend time with my Savior~
So today, after getting up & jumping into my day, i went back to my room to pray~
The strength i have to do this (or anything!) comes from Him!
The grace to keep trying, even when I've been struggling, or failing to keep my commitment to myself, is only because i know, as the Bible promises, that His mercies are new every morning~
The repentance for tearing down my body, { the temple of his Holy Spirit } when I've been foolish, rebellious, neglectful, or careless comes when I'm spending time with Him, seeing my life through His loving, forgiving eyes, & facing the times I've rejected the help & strength He's offered throughout the day~
There is no way, in my flesh, that i can do this...others may, but i know me, i cannot...
...I need to be led by his Spirit through each day...i need to stay close to Him, & allow him to continue the work that He's begun in me, changing, healing, transforming the things that have held me captive to the self-destructive path I've been walking...
...Off to make a yummy smoothie, then out to go get some more produce! I'm going to try a few new things today! Not sure what until i get to the store!
