Message Notes:

3 My soul also is greatly troubled. But you, O Lord—how long? 4 Turn, O Lord, deliver my life; save me for the sake of your steadfast love. 5 For in death there is no remembrance of you; in Sheol who will give you praise? 6 I am weary with my moaning; every night I flood my bed with tears; I drench my couch with my weeping. 7 My eye wastes away because of grief; it grows weak because of all my foes. 8 Depart from me, all you workers of evil, for the Lord has heard the sound of my weeping. 9 The Lord has heard my plea; the Lord accepts my prayer. 10 All my enemies shall be ashamed and greatly troubled; they shall turn back and be put to shame in a moment. — Psalm 6v3-10 (ESV)

It’s impossible to be spiritually mature while remaining emotionally immature.

How long Lord? Will you forget me forever? How long will you hide your face from me? How long must I wrestle with my thoughts and day after day have sorrow in my heart? How long will my enemy triumph over me. — Psalm 13v1-2 (ESV)

It’s one thing to be saved, it’s another thing to be free

    I’m getting unhealthy when

    • I do God’s work to satisfy me, not God
    • Pray about God working in my will not about me surrendering to His will
    • Hide behind achievements to deflect the focus from my inner cracks and flaws
    • Selectively apply biblical truth to avoid anything that would require significant life changes
    • I stop changing because “I’ve arrived”
    • And after you have suffered a little while, the God of all grace, who has called you to his eternal glory in Christ, will himself restore, confirm, strengthen, and establish you. — 1 Peter 5v10 (ESV)

      Restoring my inner life.

      1. NAME WHERE YOU’RE AT

      Genesis 3v8-9 (ESV)

      HOW WE THINK INFLUENCES HOW WE FEEL

      Colossians 3v2-3 (ESV)

      2. BRING YOUR BROKENESS

      Psalm 51v17 (NLT)

      2 Samuel 22v21-25 (MSG)

      3. FIGHT YOUR FEELINGS

      Every thought in your mind needs to be filtered. If you are going to survive this war, you need to be a domineering, controlling, micro-managing tyrant when it comes to your thought life. Any and all thoughts outside of God’s Word, you take captive, shut up, and expel. You give those thoughts no time. No mental real estate. No free pass. You throw those thoughts into prison. No, better yet, you send them straight to solitary confinement. And when you’re done, you throw away the keys. — John Mark Comer

      4. REFRESH YOUR REVELATION

      Romans 12v1 (ESV)
