The Struggles within

The struggles within myself sometimes get the best of me. By struggles i mean the daily battles that i face against selfishness and self-righteousness. The struggles that i have with "faith" in general, the struggles i have with just being here at school when my heart and mind are completely somewhere else.

I think that it is at times that these inner struggles between my flesh and the wonderful sanctifiying work of the Holy Spirit cause me to grow faint and weary. One day i am content with where i am at, the next, i want more.

I have a hard time focusing on school and homework when all i want is rest from everything around me. I think this past weekend i was able to get some much needed rest.

This "thing" called spiritual warfare effects us more than i think anybody realizes.

It is like Paul said in Romans

"Lord, i believe, help my unbelief."
