“O Lord, you have searched me and known me! You know when I sit down and when I rise up; you discern my thoughts from afar. You search out my path and my lying down and are acquainted with all my ways.” Psalm 139:1-3
Our thoughts have the power to determine actions. That is why it’s so crucial for the believer to engrave the purity of the Word in their mind. By this we know right from culture's standard of right. We begin to firmly pray for His power to eliminate distractions so we can come to have clarity in the things of Christ.
Remember, God remains faithful, and He always keeps His end of the deal. Our part is simply relying upon Him, and by this we partake in what He has for us.
Brethren, be encouraged that our Father still uses us though we tend to struggle, fall, and feel defeated in our minds. I pray that you would not stay there but acknowledge the person inside of you ( The Holy Spirit ) and be diligent to trust Him and not yourself. Do yourself a favor and rest your troubles, your pain, your pleas, your desires, at the foot of the cross. He is with you and He won’t leave you.

“O Death, where is your sting? O Hades, where is your victory?” The sting of death is sin, and the strength of sin is the law. But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ. Therefore, my beloved brethren, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that your labor is not in vain in the Lord.”
I Corinthians 15:55-58 NKJV
“And He said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for My strength is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore most gladly I will rather boast in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me.”
II Corinthians 12:9 NKJV
