Effect?

God uses the weirdest ways to get me to listen to Him.

What I learned:

I thought I was serving God by living a life of example.

But all I was doing was using that as an excuse to control my own life. I have weaned myself off God's strength onto my own. That's why things haven't been working out.

so God.

I need you.

I know I say this a lot.

but I really need you.

I can't do anything without you.

so help me.

Help me to live a life purely devoted to you.

I love you.
