I'd like to ask for prayer regarding certain personality traits of mine. I'm going to be working on them actively, and I need guidance, wisdom, and motivation to prevail. I tend to be indecisive when I find little interest in something. I need to then find the merits of even the small things, and when I do decide, to fulfill that which I've started. As a man of God I need to be reliable, for those around me as well.
I have fallen back into the tendency to be unwise with my words when I'm trying to be humorous. This has become apparent as of late. No cursing, just plain stupidity and hurtfulness to certain people. I'm tired of apologizing for something, and then doing it again not long after. I'd like to have the presence of mind and discipline to resist it happening in the first place.

Thanks for the prayers.
 
Praying for you brother. This is a difficult area to control. It's good you are aware of it and trying to make a change. God bless....
 
I've had that problem as well, and I've heard many people say that we cannot change.. We ourselves, cannot change. But God, will change us for His glory. We just need to trust in Him, and believe that He will work in us. I've said my help of stupid things, and I've done my share of stupid things.. but God's love does not end. I'll be praying for ya, God bless :)
 
Like others have said...
It's good you are aware of this.
Admitting you have something wrong is the first step to making a change :)
Prayers sent for you in the love of Jesus :)
 
This may sound funny or weird to some but as I read this I told god this- Okay god you know what to do. And I felt as if he had already begun to move on it as I said this, Like i could somehow see in my mind him move as I prayed this. But hey If i am right about this then ya glory to god right!?
 
Praying for all asked will be made perfect in you in Jesus.

God bless
