Dear God,
I need you. I need more of you and less of me. I'm praying and asking you for your peace my Lord. I'm asking you to help me in every aspect of my life God. I need your strength. My heart is heavy Lord, with the everyday stress of life and raising my brother. It's been rough... I feel some sort of guilt asking you for things. Even though you tell us to ask and pray on all occasions. (Ephesians 6:18)
Lord, here I am asking for you to make me stronger when it comes to family. Every time I think of treating others the way they treat me, I ask myself W.W.J.D (what would Jesus Do?)
It helps me shift my Mentality on how badly I want to get even, to giving the other cheek. But My Heavenly Father, how do I step away and react the way Jesus would? When in the heat of the moment, please Lord allow there to be more of you and less of me! I beg you to interrupt me in my anger, during the rage.
Violence is easily justified when your blood is boiling and when everything is everywhere. Yet when the moment has passed, you are left with the mess and the guilt and in my case double the guilt. Because I hurt someone who I love and did something I told myself I wouldn't do. I let my flesh win. I let my emotions control me instead of the other way around. Yet on the other side of it, how will I let a disrespectful person continue to disrespect and mistreat and control me?
Lord, please give me the clarity and wisdom to handle situations like this better. Please forgive me. Please help me forgive.
In Jesus' name, I pray,
Amen!!
