That sounds so selfish, Lord, but the truth is that my recent prayers have focused on outside problems rather than the condition, the state, of my own heart. If I don't stay in "condition" as an athlete or a soldier does, then I am not as useful to You as I want to be...and as I believe You want me to be.
So, dear God, where are my weaknesses? What are the things that I need to address? One rather obvious one is my "addiction" to games. Another one is my sharp tongue. My "unloving" heart needs fine-tuning; I have found it difficult if not impossible to be discerning in my assessments, which sometimes include accurate identification of another person's weaknesses (or a church's....), without sounding critical and judgmental. Oh, to have Your heart! (Be careful what I wish for!! Your heart hurts a lot because it is so loving.)
In Jesus' name!
