I forget who is in charge

Things are lookin' rough. I keep losing hope in a future. I feel like I have no direction, no energy, and no desire. I forget who is in charge. I forget who has delivered me. I forget that I am sovereignly walking on this earth, and serving him because he has so mercifully allowed.

I am forgetting the character of God. Satan has gotten the best of me, and has trapped me in so many silly little snares that I never thought were possible, stripping me of hope for change.
I know that my God has conquered death. I know the purpose of biblical trials, but through a series of miniature small attacks, I have been worn down to a feckless, and spineless ambassador for the Lord Jesus Christ.

Love the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding? Whoops.

I think every Christian teenager to walk the earth, has clung on to this next verse at some point in their life. For the sake of being different, I avoided it at all costs :p I guess God is ready for me to conform :p

Jeremiah 29:11-For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.
