I struggle with finding my identity in Christ. I have this thought that there is some big thing I need to do to change or become different. The truth is, it might be simpler than I thought.
I can see that we become like that which we love. If I begin to seek Christ, to know Him, also understanding that ultimately I can't 'know' everything about HIm....but to be in conversation and communion with Him. I am beginning to see that this may be the way. This may be the way to finding my identity in Christ.
I have had a rough day with emotions and physical sickness. When these things happen (which they happen often) I find myself seeking out temporary solutions to my pain. I seek out control over my chores and daily activities, control over my intake of food and the amount of exercise I do....and my seeking goes on and on and I never find satisfaction in these things. I am starting to see that with every temptation, with every thought that is disordered, with every situation and feeling and thought in my life, I need God. I need to go to God in prayer. Fervent prayer, unceasing prayer.
