Old ways

I easily reverting back to old ways... I constantly feel that I’m starting over, setting new goals, or making the same mistakes. Persistence keeps me diligent, but progress is slow and sometimes the fruits of my labors are even slower. But I have faith that eventually, I will become a better person, I will have more faith in my prayers and in my ability to do the work God needs me to do, and faith that I will recognize that work. I shouldn’t get ambitious or overly confident in my abilities... because that is when I realize I have made mistakes and need to repent and that I can’t do anything with out the Lord consecrating my efforts. 

God gifts us grace. And strength.
