"I say to myself, I will not mention His name, I will speak in His name no more. But then, it becomes like a fire burning in my heart, imprisoned in my bones, I grow weary holding it in, I cannot endure it." Jeremiah 20:7-10

Cherubim and Fiery Revolving Swords
A prayer when facing temptations:
“He stationed the cherubim and the fiery revolving sword, to guard the way to the tree of life.” Genesis 3:9-24
My dearest Jesus, my one and only love,
So many people and things try to make their way into my heart, they try to take your place there, and they want to push you out.
So often, Jesus, I am so weak that I allow others to have the space that belongs to you, I let them crowd you out. But Jesus, this is not what I want! I only want you!
My heart is the tree of life. It is the place where you live and grow. Help me to protect your life in my heart. Station your cherubim and fiery revolving sword outside my heart so your presence will always be protected inside of me.
Amen.
