What's on my Heart?

Confession: I do not do well in trusting God with the ‘injustices’ in my life…I often think I do, but then the evidence proving otherwise presents itself time and time again. 

Evidence #1:  I perceive injustice committed against me more often than actually occurs.

Evidence #2:  I am quick to first try to defend.

Evidence #3:  I persist in trying to vindicate.

Evidence #4:  I try to avenge.

Evidence #5:  I delay in humbly and faithfully following God’s ways.

By the grace of God, this is not always true of me.  In gratitude for God’s work in my life, he is sanctifying me in this.  In humility, I need your prayer, your example, your instruction, your correction, your rebuke and your encouragement.  I may also need your forgiveness…If I have wronged you in one of these ways, please forgive me.

Will you pray Romans 12 for me?  Pray for me to be transformed to the will of God, to not think too highly of myself, but to have sober judgment; to love genuinely; to be patient in tribulation; to bless others; to give thought to what is honorable in the sight of all; to live peaceable with all; to not be overcome by evil, but to overcome evil with good.  I need you my brothers and sisters!

I pray for you as well.
