MissyP89 Posted September 25, 2011 Share Posted September 25, 2011 Ah! Wonderful timing...I've been praying this for only a few days now, but it gives me much to think on, especially that last line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dominicansoul Posted September 25, 2011 Share Posted September 25, 2011 um....you do realize how dangerous this prayer is, right? I mean, most of the time, God doesn't gift you with an automatic gift of instant humility... He kinda uses circumstances for you to obtain it... be prepared to be humiliated...
