Double minded


James 1:7-8                New English Translation

7 For that person must not suppose that he will receive anything from the Lord, 8 since he is a double-minded individual, unstable in all his ways.

 

A state of existence …

 

What is the use of praying if my conscience reproves me?

What is the use of asking for directions if I don’t follow them?

What is the use to search if only for my own satisfaction?

What is the use of living if I just pretend to live God’s Will?

 

Unless prayers of gratitude …

 

How do I pray with faith since I know that I’m forgiven?

How can I have complete security if I surely will sin again?

How can my flesh disturb my inner-peace, that’s driven?

Through Holiness and God, Himself as I arose in Christ?
