I Need To Read The Bible More And More!

The other day I prayed and

read my Bible.

But soon afterward,  

I brought out an idol.

This idol is something

I tried to hide.

I can’t seem to let go of it.

 I’ve too much pride.

This thing has brought pleasure

for a limited time.

But now has effected what’s

 in my mind!

My prayer life isn’t

what it used to be.

I can’t “shake it.”  It has a hold of me!

This idol has taken up

residence in my life.

I’ve lost interest in my family

 and wife!

It’s had an impact on what I’ve

 said and thought.

I think; “what kind of lie

have I really bought?”

Only Jesus can give me

the satisfaction I seek!

I know that he is with me

each day of the week!

I decided to get rid of my idol

 and throw it away!

I now enjoy God’s peace

in my life every day!

God has restored my trust

and belief in him!

He’s brought restoration to my life

 and peaee within!
