At the root of every spiritual struggle, there are two forces at war: not so much good and evil, but God and self. If that is the case then it must be equally true that there is only one temptation: the ever present temptation to choose my will over God’s will, my way over God’s way.

“Be very careful, then, how you live – not as unwise but as wise, making the most of every opportunity, because the days are evil.”

— Ephesians 5:15-16

Lord Jesus, save me from myself. Left to myself I will always mess things up. Teach me to choose Your way, Your will. In Your holy name I pray. Amen.
