40acts Bible Verse.

Today for my 40acts lent challenge I have to share my favourite bible verse via social network.

I thought I'd share a little story that happened to me recently: 

So auditioning at drama schools has been a BIG part of my life these past 6 months. The usual thing- wake up at ridiculous o'clock, check 60000 times that I have everything I need, fall asleep on various trains/tubes/coaches until I reach my destination. Show up, pray, pray a little harder, do my monologues, shake a few hands, phone my mum, get back on various trains/tubes/coaches and bed.

Standard. However, it started to get a little trickier. My anxiety got such a hold over me, and I found myself waking up in a cold sweat, lashing about and shouting "I can't do this!"

So every second of my audition days became hell. I vividly remember standing on a tube at 5.30pm on a Friday and feeling myself about to blackout whilst squashed up against various tourists. My mind was screaming "what can I possibly do in this situation?" I prayed so hard that Jesus would somehow wash over every nerve and fear and hold me upright until I returned home.

It didn't happen. Or so I thought...

London Charing Cross station. A very frantic Alice, running to get the next train, and finding myself praying the words "God, help me to think more like you. Give me Godly thoughts" and as I bashed past brief cases and suitcases, I suddenly see a message, just right there infront of me-

You are enough just as you are.

I stopped in my tracks, and Jesus said so clearly; "this is what I think about you."

Here's the bible verse I chose today-

There’s no end to what has happened in you—it’s beyond speech, beyond knowledge. The evidence of Christ has been clearly verified in your lives. Just think—you don’t need a thing, you’ve got it all! All God’s gifts are right in front of you as you wait expectantly for our Master Jesus to arrive on the scene for the Finale. And not only that, but God himself is right alongside to keep you steady and on track until things are all wrapped up by Jesus. God, who got you started in this spiritual adventure, shares with us the life of his Son and our Master Jesus. He will never give up on you. Never forget that. (1 Corinthians 1:4-9 MSG)

I challenge you today to pray a prayer. Something so simple and yet so powerful. Ask Jesus to show you things, to think like Him, to BE like Him.
