At times I can >even fool myself. But when I kneel in your presence and am convicted >by your Word, I find myself reminded of the areas I have not yet >fully submitted to your control and Jesus' lordship. Please, dear >Father, use the Holy Spirit to gently show and convict of my >self-deception so that I may be wholly lost in your will. Through >Jesus, Lord of lords, I pray.
