As I read these this morning I discovered I really need to sit down with God and pray. There are so many things on this prayer list that I need to really talk to Him about and ask for His strength and support on helping me change for the better. Making sure that I am not crabby, using good language, not gossiping, and being loving I feel are the top ones for me to work on because they seem to be a weakness for me. I struggle with using good language and being crabby seems to be a daily issue for me at some point throughout the day and then gossiping, well that is what the world is all about these days so trying to get out of that needs to be a priority on my list.
Do you see yourself struggle with any of these?
