And When You Pray

I don’t know about you, but I don’t like to be around people who have no control over their spirit. They are often unpredictable. They make me feel unsafe. “Like a city that is broken into and without walls is a man who has no control over his spirit.” Prov. 25:28 (NASB) Establishing and having good, healthy boundaries is essential to living a life of peace and rest. As Proverbs 25:28 says, “Living without boundaries is like a city with walls that are broken down.” Another translation says, “A person without self-control is like a house with its doors and windows knocked out.” To learn more about the ministry of Restoring the Foundations International, please visit www.restoringthefoundations.org.

Do you find yourself in turmoil because you know you’re already too busy but you just don’t want to disappoint your friend, your family or your Pastor? Over the next several podcasts, we are going to talk about boundaries. So what is a boundary? My simple definition of a boundary is knowing where you and your responsibility ends and another person begins.

I was so stirred up by the podcast two weeks ago about unbelief and doubt that I realized I was not finished talking about this subject. The thing that struck me is that unbelief and doubt have a huge impact on everything else in our relationship with God. It is all about faith, and unbelief and doubt are stealing away our ability to exercise our faith in our relationship with a very good and loving Father God. Come along with me this week as we take a deeper dive into how the thief of unbelief and doubt may be stealing from you.
