I need God more than I need Krispy Kreme

I recently heard a song on the radio and it stopped me in my tracks. Not literally because I was driving and that would have been dangerous, but figuratively. I also happened to be craving the delicious goodness of Krispy Kreme donuts at the same time. Ironic how the Lord speaks to me huh?

There are so many times that I fall prey to the "gotta haves" and "I wants" yet I forget the only thing I really need. I desperately NEED the Lord. I need His strength to go to work and deal with drama. I need Him to help me in youth ministry, especially in the upcoming week as we will be on a Mission Trip. I need His strength as I am parenting a very independent toddler. I need Him to help me be a wife to Andy. I really need the Lord to help me resist turning to food for comfort. I most definitely need God to help me resist the darkness of OCD.

So the words of  this song have been my prayer as I try to live fully present in the moment.
