People have a tendency to rationalize both the heights and depths of our character. We want to believe that things aren't too bad and not as serious as they seem. The basic problem is we believe that its all about us and not about God. It is not until we deal with pride that God's grace can have its sway in our life. God deals with this by getting alone with us concerning our self centeredness. He reveals the deep dark places of our soul and reveals their full affect on our life. God explains that He sent His Son and by Him will will find life and not die. His presence is constant, seeking to break us of dependance on ourself, so that we trust in Jesus alone apart from any self-goodness.
Daily Prayer: Lord Jesus, break us of our confidence in our own self. Help us to admit to the seriousness of our problem. Help us to accept the lot You have for us, even if it is not what we would have chosen for ourself. Finally, give us your peace over the matter so that we can once again live, but this time for You. In Your Holy name we pray Amen.
