Lord, I believe. Help me overcome my unbelief.
Lord, I love. Help me overcome my hard-heartedness.
Lord, I submit. Help me overcome my pride.
Lord, I forgive. Help me overcome my unforgiveness.
Lord, I trust. Help me overcome my walls.
Lord, I give. Help me overcome my selfishness.
Lord, I rejoice. Help me overcome my despair.
Lord, I hear. Help me overcome my stubbornness.
Lord, I understand. Help me overcome my ignorance.
Lord, I see. Help me overcome my lack of vision.

   Hey Alece – I think I clicked on the little sleepy icon by accident. My lap top mouse pad is super sensitive – any way – no offense. :-) This post was very insightful.
