An Overhaul

Wait on the Lord; be of good
courage, and He shall strengthen
thine heart; wait, I say, on the Lord. 
Psalm 27:14

For a long while now, I've noticed that I am lacking the inner strength and spiritual power that I had enjoyed in the past...

The same is true with joy. My cup used to be full, but it no longer is.

I would assume the reason for this is because I have become too busy. Between the array of weekly chapel activities, my two jobs here at the prison, daily correspondences plus trying to maintain my journal as well as help my fellow inmates, it has gotten overwhelming. In addition, people often try to place demands on my time.

Thus, I have been asking the Lord for a complete and total overhaul to include body, mind and soul. I need to spend more quality time in prayer, and reading my Bible. Basically, this is pretty much where I am right now. Like a car with more than one hundred thousand miles on it, I need to get myself a tune-up and a full-service overhaul. I'm a man who is in desperate need of renewal and refreshing. And this is my immediate goal.
