prayer for all of us

Lord,

I lay all my responsibilities at Your feet. I am now yielding my heart, mind and strength to your awesome power and glory. I desperately need You.

Open my eyes, ears, heart and soul so that I'm not too busy to hear You. Teach me to walk, live and be in the center of Your will for my life. Use me as a blessing in the lives of my children, dear Lord.

Forgive me for my past mistakes, which can be better described as sins. I've been impatient, short tempered, self-righteous and it has made me a difficult woman to love and live with. Lord, starting today, fill me with the fruit of the Spirit: patience, kindness, humility, and gentleness.

Make me a woman who is not easily angered; guard me from being rude or selfish. Fill me with the strength to endure all things necessary. Your perfect love never fails. I praise you, and I thank you for saving me.

Amen.

amen, Bon Bon . . . we all need this prayer > and

"nor as being lords over those entrusted to you,
but being examples to the flock." (1 Peter 5:3)

So, may be be examples in *Your* sight, please . . .

and even if we are difficult to love, others need how You make us loving ones while they are being difficult > to love, "with longsuffering", You have given, in Ephesians 4:2. So, You know longsuffering will be needed in our loving, instead of our breaking down and being hurt or getting nasty and bitter and feeling we are better than the one being difficult. So, may I be more real in this, with my ones I know here where I am . . . not demanding how I want someone to give me attention, etc. . . . and with ones on the Internet, please, that I be more humble and honest . . .
