Some days I do better, Lord

I missed a day already :-( We had our annual retreat in Gatlinburg last night, so I wasn't home until late and I didn't post a note on here. Satan was attacking me hard mentally yesterday. The Father of Lies will do anything he can to get in your head and bring you down. I take blame for not getting up in time yesterday to have a quiet time. I gave him a foothold to get in my head and plant weeds.
Determined not to let today be the same, I woke up this morning to spend time with the Lord. (Then I enjoyed a full day out in His beautiful creation -- praise Him for warm weather!) He spoke to me this morning about surrendering to His call mentally and being willing to pour my life out as an offering to Him. I prayed to Him, telling Him that I was ready for Him to shape my will so that I will be ready, also, for Him to shape my life externally.
I'm not sitting here typing this if the devil didn't jump up in my head again tonight and try to fill me with the lies of the world. It's a good thing I'm called to be separated, so I know what to believe and what not to believe, and I know where to go to find a renewal of my mind.

This part of a song our college band plays was in my head all yesterday evening and night.

Show Me Your Grace
the walk band.

Since you reached down and showed me Lord
What I've done wrong
Every day is a struggle Lord
That's why I wrote down this song

Some days I do better, Lord
Sometimes I fall on my face
But You show me Your Grace
You show me Your Mercy
