Do you struggle to maintain a regular, consistent devotional life? We have good intentions but somehow, all those obligations and great opportunities manage to edge out meeting with God. Today, we explore those things that keep us from pursuing God and meditating on His Word, why this happens so often to so many Christians, and what can be done to change. A close, consistent devotional life with God is the last thing your Enemy wants. Are you ready to go deep with God, every day? Begin pursuing the devotional life you desire and that God desires for you. STRUGGLING WITH PORN/SEXUAL SIN?
