Thank you

I have the Christian title. But when I think about it, I do not live as a Christian. I don't think I know him. And I am thinking of dropping the name Christian from my title, but pray and seek his will. Asking God to enable me to surrender to his will.

I don't think God zaps us into perfection. It's a struggle to learn and do His will. I've certainly learned a lot in all these years and have conquered some behaviors with His help.

Praying for you to not give up.

Well, I don't really believe in magic. And I'm not talking about having power over somebody. In fact,I think that it would be a little stupid if I try to have power over somebody. If your little kid asked you for an apple and you gave him the Apple, does that exactly mean that he had power over you? Absolutely not. It was in your power to say yes or no. I don't think that God bends to our will, I think that we are supposed to bend to his will. When I talk about praying, I am talking about surrendering to his will, not him surrendering to my will. So, no I don't believe that means that I am looking to have power over God. But if that's how you see it, then so be it.
No, that's not how I see it. I think you misunderstood what I wrote. No big deal though.

Oh, I'm truly sorry about that. I tend to misunderstand people a lot.
