Dear God, why do I suck so bad at discipline? Why can't I make a commitment and stick with it? Help me to focus my thoughts and actions on my goals, goals that I think you support and have directed me to. Amen.
Friend John, thank you for that. For some reason, prayer for strength and understanding seems more probable to be "answered" that those for corporeal things. But I may be wrong. I'm afraid that I'm one of Pastor Josh's "problem children."
A Moment of Prayer is a devotional blog, offering brief prayers every day. We hope these prayers will inspire you and assist you in your faith journey.
