Scripture: Psalm 63:1
"O God, you are my God, earnestly I seek you; my soul thirsts for you, my body longs for you, in a dry and weary land where there is no water."
Observation: Seek after God with all your soul even when the world rejects you and attempts to block you way.
Application: In everything you do, live life in a way that is glorifying to God. Make it your life's mission to be invisible so as to not get in the way of God's grace.
Prayer: Lord I don't know what I'm doing or what I'm supposed to do. Lord please point me in the right direction so that I may serve you best. Lord help me to grow in self-discipline and help me to be more honest with myself and with everyone around me. Lord let me become invisible so that others may see your glory and so they will give you the credit.

Scripture: Matthew 8: 8,13
"The centurion replied, Lord I do not deserve to have you come under my roof. But just say the word, and my servant will be healed. Then Jesus said to the centurion, Go! It will be done just as you believed it would."
Observation: The centurion truly believed that God was so great he did not need to be in the presence of his servant to actually heal him.
Application: If we truly believe, God will fill our lives with more blessing then we could ever possibly need. Jesus tells us to ask, seek, and knock, and the door will be opened.
Prayer: Lord God please meet me where I'm at because there is no way I can ever reach you. Lord I have screwed up a lot and i rough times it seems like I loose heart quickly but Lord please help me to put all my faith in you and truly believe that you are always in control of my life. Lord I know you have a master plan and I pray that you could reveal small glimmers of it to me when you feel that I am ready.

Scripture: Psalm 7:13,14
"Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate, and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it."
Observation: It's easy to miss God's purpose for our lives and live a life that is only pleasing to us.
Application: Passionately seek the truth because there are many opportunities to stumble. The easy road will only leave you broken and questioning your beliefs.

Help me to live my life so that I become invisible and everyone is able to see your mighty love working through my life.
