Removing All My Defects

God is willing, and more than able, to remove all our defects of character if we humbly ask Him.  However, we cannot expect to experience God’s transforming power in our lives if we remain proud and unwilling to admit that we are helpless apart from him.  If we decide what we think needs to go and tell God how we expect Him to act, God will simply allow us to go forward and find out what happens when we base our life on our own limited understanding. 

Only God, in His infinite wisdom, has correct solutions for dealing with our defects of character.  We can't ask for God’s help to remove our shortcomings just once and expect to be done with it.  We must be persistent and ask repeatedly as the need arises.  The work of removing our revealed shortcomings is a process which will continue until we become more like Jesus in all our ways.

The process of having our shortcomings removed will be activated when we admit our dependence on God and become willing to receive ongoing direction from Him as well as feedback from others.  

Character flaws are transformed into character strengths as we repeatedly lay down our way of thinking and believing and embrace God’s way.

Prayer:  Loving Father, Thank you for your commitment to remove all my defects of character as I willingly surrender my will and my life into your care. Fill me with Your Holy Spirit, so that I may rely on His strength and guidance to walk in freedom from my past.  Change my thinking and believing until I am secure in Your goodness.  Amen
