Face the Truth About Yourself Someone once asked how I live free from my oppressive past. My answer is very simple: God has given me the grace and the willingness to face the truth about myself. Because of my quick temper, I was upset most of the time. Because of being upset, I grew up depressed, disappointed and discouraged. I wished I could have a better life, but my wishing didnt solve anything. It wasted my time as I kept blaming my problems on my bad family background. Finally, God helped me realize that I had to stop wishing and start taking responsibility, to quit blaming other people and my circumstances, and quit making excuses for myself. You might be in a similar situation. Facing the truth about yourself is scary, but you dont have to do it alone. All your flaws are exposed to God, and if you ask Him for His perspective, He will help you pick yourself up, take responsibility, and live a peaceful life. Today, dont be scared to face the truth about yourself, but let God guide you into a new tomorrow. Prayer Starter: Holy Spirit, I need Your help to face the truth about myself. Its time to stop blaming my problems on my past and on other people, and to meet them head-on with the power of Your Word. Empower me to take responsibility and to change for the better.
