THIS, "Do whatever it takes to burn out of me everything that is not of You. Do whatever it takes to sever my dependence on anything but Your presence. Do whatever it takes to make me a fit vessel, a true reflection, a reliable son. If that means loss, let it be loss of what was holding me back. If that means fire, let it be a fire that purifies, not destroys."
This is what makes God smile and call you a son.
I wrote a long reply and erased it because English words either weaken the impact of this prayer, or cause everyone to do an about-face. I will save these words for a restack and leave any in-depth and powerful comments to a personal message.
This past year or so has helped me to see God's surgical scalpel as well. A lot is rough and challenging. I'm not the greatest patient a lot, but once He strengthens me through it, the value of it all shines through and my obedience becomes clearer.
Hope your mom continues to be strengthened by His Mighty Hand!

I’ll certainly keep you in my prayers Scott.
Some things I’m doing to keep me on the path and focused:
Hit “pause” often. Pray before a word comes from my mouth.
Block out anything and everything that not about our Father.
Fast…a lot.
And of course all the other stuff, prayer, serve whoever is around me.
Walking….a lot.
🙏🏿✝🕊
You're in mine as well!
🙏🏿✝🕊
