📜 TODAY'S SCRIPTURE: Psalm 86:8-13
8 There is none like you among the gods, O Lord,
nor are there any works like yours.
9 All the nations you have made shall come
and worship before you, O Lord,
and shall glorify your name.
10 For you are great and do wondrous things;
you alone are God.
11 Teach me your way, O Lord,
that I may walk in your truth;
unite my heart to fear your name.
12 I give thanks to you, O Lord my God, with my whole heart,
and I will glorify your name forever.
13 For great is your steadfast love toward me;
you have delivered my soul from the depths of Sheol.

| 0:00.0 | Welcome back to the Morning Mindset. It is time for you and for me to get our minds aligned with the truth of God. |
| 0:10.4 | I wanted to start out today's Morning Mind mindset by telling you about a conversation I had recently |
| 0:15.2 | with someone. And it's a conversation that I think will resonate with you because it's likely |
| 0:20.0 | been your experience at some time in your Christian life and that is a time where you |
| 0:26.5 | have had the experience of being close to the Lord you have known that in the past |

| 0:35.8 | dry that though you're still seeking the Lord though you are still pursuing |
| 0:41.0 | him in the best way that you know how. There seems to be a missing |
| 0:47.2 | element to your relationship with God's power and |
| 0:55.0 | you don't exactly know what to do you don't know how to restore that initial sense of God's |
| 0:58.0 | power and presence and closeness in your life. |
| 1:02.0 | And I can tell you that I have been there many times before. And as I was |
| 1:07.0 | talking with this person about the experience that they were having and not really knowing what to do next to draw close |
| 1:15.6 | to the Lord. It took me to a place of remembrance, remembering a time in my life when I discovered something that was helpful in that |
| 1:26.2 | vein to enable me to reconnect with God in a new way. |
| 1:30.5 | Now let me make a little disclaimer here. |
| 1:33.0 | There's no such thing as a magic formula or a genie and a lamp we rub and it makes all of our spiritual issues go away and all of our difficulties just dissipate. |
| 1:44.4 | There's no such thing because there is a sense in which we need to |
| 1:48.1 | persevere in our faith and something in the perseverance brings about a deeper faith. |
| 1:53.4 | But there are truths, there are approaches to our spiritual life that are helpful, and that's what |
