I have always been scared of this Breaking Free study. I don't like emotional stuff. I don't like getting in touch with my feelings. If you ignore things long enough they go away, right? This is going to be an interesting journey for me. I'm not sure I am ready.
I am ready, though, to hear what God wants me to learn with this study. I struggle with the self discipline to stick to a bible study or daily reading. Combining bible study and time on the computer (which I already do too much of) is going to be a great combination.
Today's lesson that I was reading talked about Uzziah and his pride. Pride...now there is a subject I know a lot about. I have it. I suffer from it. I don't always see it. I recognize and judge others for it. I scorn it. I have it. I suffer from it. I need a cure.
Lord, help me to recognize and remove pride from my life. Help me to discern the differences in pride and self confidence. Help me to know when I have righteous anger, and not offended pride. Help me to show your humility and love.
