Psalm 37:4

"Delight yourself in the Lord, and he will give you the desires of your heart."

This is my current memory scripture i think. the one i need to memorise.

so often I get caught up in desiring something from God, or wanting something.
But ultimately, true intimacy comes from simply wanting God, wanting more of Him in us.

I think that the times when i am anxious [be anxious for nothing] or fearful [fear not for I am with you says the Lord] or trying to do something my way under my power [its not by might nor by power but by My spirit says the Lord].
This is when I am seeking God for something that I want, rather than seeking Him for His own sake.

Then when I get to church... what is PPP preaching about? Prayer and intimacy with God, seeking Him for Who He Is rather than What He Can Do.

I will not name names. But the other day I flicked onto ACC and there was a show on called 'What God Can Do For You'

to quote a song i rememeber from the film 'sister act'
"What have you done for Him lately"
this second quote at least has the emphasis in the right place.

Isn;t life meant to be about what we are doing for God. Shouldn't God be first, us last.

This is the thing I think I am dealing with at the moment.
It seems like more a layer deeper than the previous issue I was dealing with, that of relying on God for provision
