Lord God, everything's a distraction. I'm sorry about this past weekend. I never once opened Your Word to study on my own. During church I, of course, opened it up and followed along, but I never studied. I read Your Holy Scriptures, but I didn' chew upon Your truths. My excuses were that I needed to do homework and I didn't bring my prayer journal. Father, I am ashamed. When have these ever been reasons not to seek Your Word? My soul cries out, and I don't know how to approach You today. I can't even think or concentrate on the Bible verses I've written above. What is my problem, Lord? What do i need to work on God? I don't know. Lord, please be with Jess as she begins to teach her unit. She's really nervous and unsure. Give her the assurance that shee needs, Father. Thank You.
