Greetings prayer warriors,
This morning before mass (my third one in a row…whoo whoo…) I jotted down three areas that I need personal prayer in:
1.) Poverty
a.) Living within my means
b.) As I am looking for a job, let it be one which serves others and which I can accomplish in good conscience
2.) Chastity
a.) Freedom from giving into lust and masturbation
b.) Realization that my current single state is a gift from God, which should give me joy and allow me to serve others in love
3.) Obedience
a.) I need humility. Sometimes I can try to cover up for insecurities by trying to appear very knowledgeable. This is not good. It would be far better for me to honor others for the knowledge that they have, and to try to learn from them.
b.) I have felt that I should make an appointment with the diocesan priest where I am taking RCIA to talk with him about a few things (some of which could be difficult to talk about), but I have been putting it off. I need to be obedient to the leading of the Holy Spirit.
In addition to these, I can always use prayer that I would grow in faith, hope, and love. I am especially asking God to help me to grow in the area of love. I am praying that he would help me get over my pride and insecurity so that I can truly and humbly love others. I have spent some time in front of the Blessed Sacrament on this, but feel that I have a long way to go.
Thanks in Christ,
DSully
