for His glory...

Truly my life is rather much the same week after week. Working on living in the Spirit which really is a misnomer since you can't work on it but what I mean is I want to rely less on the flesh to get through my days. So much I fight the temptation to blow up and I find that I have to pray to get through everything almost. Especially my marriage which continues to be the largest challenge of my life. I don't know how long I can hang on but hang on I must. I must keep telling God it is for His glory that I hang on and in telling Him I strengthen that thought. Loving my husband is for His glory. Not reacting is for His glory. Not being demanding, defensive, angry, frustrated is for His glory. Loving with compassion and patience is for His glory. And sometimes it makes me feel good too. I must live in the Spirit for His purposes and I must act for Him and His glory only. That is why I am on this earth. Not for me or my comfort. All I do is for His glory. My work, parenting, friendships, prayers, thoughts, actions and leisure. All for His glory. I pray to do things with this in mind and so it will come naturally and not with what I perceive to be human and fleshly effort. I pray for the Spirit to saturate me with His desire to do for His glory. Lord, I love You and want to glorify You in all I do. I am so imperfect and such a sinner in my day to day living. Please, Lord, answer my prayer to do Your will and live in Your Spirit and glorify YOU. Amen.
