prayers are a distraction most of the times we pray these
prayers because its what we think we need and often thats not the case.The better way is to just trust the holy spirit let him lead i think we miss the awesomeness of doing it Gods way its easy not difficult.The struggle is difficult when we are walking by the flesh and trying to do it our way.When i got to the point where i said to the God i am not going to do it my way anymore and i submit to you because know whats best for me.Change me and when i feel the wrong desires or temptation to walk by the flesh i just say Lord you know i am weak and i can not
live a christian
life without you help me.As soon as i do that it is effortless theres no struggle thats how we should grow.I am excited
with what God is doing in my
life he has opened his word i am seeing the fruit of his
life impacting mine and i am changing day by day.I am walking by faith and not slipping back into my old desires i know what it means to be an overcomer sin does not have dominion over me anymore.In myself i can not boast because it is the power of God at work in my
life and i give all the praise back to God.brentnz
