The seed that fell among thorns stands for those who hear, but as they go on their way, they are choked by life’s worries, riches, and pleasures and they do not mature.

I confess that I am often “choked” by life’s worries. I worry that I won’t have health coverage. I know that I must repent, but I do not have enough faith. It’s is very hard to rely on a being that does not sort of follow the ways of the world. I’m such a sinner, why do you love me so much? I want to have more faith in you, but please be patient with me. I’m also worried about finance for my education. Lord, you are my heavenly father, and you said that because you love us so much, what gives would you refuse of us right? And you tell us to lift up all our burdens to you. So I pray, that you will help me Lord. Please guide, because I need a lot of Your guidance. And God, I pray that You help me mature, and be more loving of others. I know that I have a dirty heart sometimes, but Lord, may you cleanse it.

Lastly, I’ve learned a lot lately, about Your gift of life. God, we take for granted so many things in life. The ability to breathe, to walk, to think, I think perhaps I’m idolizing my “abilities” too. I should only boast of you!
