Father in Heaven, I understand that while I was given a brand new nature at the moment of my conversion, I still have old habits, patterns, and practices that need to be removed and replaced. Sometimes I am afraid to humbly face the truth about myself. My habits define my character and there is only one way to develop the habits of Christlike character: I must practice them-and that takes time! There are no instant habits. I am what I repeatedly do. Motivation is what gets me started. Habit is what keeps me going. I want to be more Like Jesus, but it is so hard sometimes to get rid of "Me" and "Be-Him." Help me to practice new disciplines so I will build new habits that please You. Change me enough so that all others witness the change in me. Shine through me, in Jesus Name and Power. Amen.
