my willing spirit but weak flesh.

dang, this school week has seriously been testing me.
i've been so worried about failing my exams,
i've overlooked the biggest exam of all.. my test of faith.
perhaps this is my insomnia talking right now,
but i feel so very numb- physically, emotionally, and spiritually.
* * * *
that was an indication that 5 mins has just passed by...
i'm thinking back to one of joe's sermons, about passion.
i remember him saying that our passion for christ
does not come from emotion but from our faith.
facts → faith → feelings
another possible reason for this "spiritual slump"
may be the result of my sins.
so in essence, i can just be very well be my own hindrance. :T

"how long must i wrestle with my thoughts
and everyday have sorrow in my heart?
how long will my enemy triumph over me?"
psalm 13:2

"but i trust in your unfailing love;
my heart rejoices in your salvation"
psalm 13:5

although my physical state is weak,
i am ever so joyful,
and i delight in his word and grace.

"watch and pray so that you will not fall
into temptation. the spirit is willing, but the
body is weak."
mark 14:38

be my strength, o lord- and carry me through this week.
