Dear Lord,
There are things in my life that I can’t seem to change about myself and it makes me feel like a failure. I have such a hard time with self-discipline, I feel like I don’t love my wife the way she deserves and you desire and I don’t seek you the way I wish I did. Thank you that you are so gracious and patient with me. And thank you that you don’t base your love for me on my abilities. Please give me your perspective of myself and make me into a man that is worthy of the calling that you have on my life.
In Jesus’ name, amen!
