Day of prayer on 24th Oct

Had a transaction with God on the subject of Identity In Christ. I have read about this since the first few months of becoming a Christian, but how much of it has actualised over the past 6 years? My struggles with insecurity and lust arise from emptiness within. Much of my time is often spent on pursuing my passion on social entrepreneurship, church activities, family and friends. However, strip away all of these and what's left? The truth is that I should still have everything in Christ!

"Indeed, I count everything as loss because of the surpassing worth of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord. For his sake I have suffered the loss of all things and count them as rubbish, in order that I may gain Christ" Phil 3:8 (ESV)

However, these activities can often create a mist camouflaging my inner emptiness; hidden from others, and most dangerously, myself. Thus, it was refreshing to have my identify in God deeply reaffirmed during day of prayer. Ministry out of emptiness will bear no fruit.
