Dear God,
How easily indwelling sin tries to trick us in times of peace. Although now that I am more acquainted with it, I have by the grace of God become more vigilant. Although I still struggle, sin is enticing, if it wasn't no one would do it. Though I pray that Christ would continue his good work in me that I may withstand such attacks as only he can mortify the "old man" as I am a new creature in Christ.
To be more specific I caught myself falling back into old routines, ones which I know to well where they lead. As soon as things started to go "well" in my life I began to relax, I didn't pray as much, didn't read the bible as much, etc. Yet I noticed the lack, and was able to stop before thing got to far. Lord, thank you for showing me the error of my ways that I may not stray from you.
In hindsight I realize that one needs to be most vigilant in times of blessings as we so easily forget who helped us in our dark times and from whom such blessings comes from. May I continue to stay humble and follow him.
From,
Your Humbled Servant
