PRAY STEP 7 HUMBLY+MEANINGFULLY!

Why will God answer this prayer of shortcoming removal? Because He wants us pure and valuable (at least that is the way it looks in scripture to me). See 1 John 5:14-15 . What worshipful god would not express this for his/her followers? www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=1+John+5:14-15

Two way prayer today reveals help for me in Step 7. These thoughts came!
-Pray your way through the day today! (ask again and again if you are serious about the removal of problems and anticipate the positive answer because you are in line with God's will, the way you understand it anyway). "Dear God please take away my shortcomings"-how hard was that?
-Stay in the moment and be thankful for it, breath it in Scott, it is a gift from God and yours to savour. As long as you are here in the moment, you are present with Me. (feelings of don't fit do not mean NO FIT. I always fit with God in the moment)
-Life is effortless to the degree I surrender it to God. What is it that I am really not willfully letting go of? What will I still keep to control by myself? Whatever it is, it will keep me stuck!!

Please notice as I work the steps I often refer to scripture. I use several references when digging for answers and the ones that impact me the most, are what I bring to the blog.
