If you still love me can I
(give me a chance just to say how I feel,
It may hurt you but what I'm seeing is real)
The problem with love is that sometimes it is very difficult, and really not all that fun. If you love someone, you want to be honest with the, even if sometimes that means telling them something they don't want to hear. I'm not very good at being on the receiving end of tough love. While I know I'm not perfect, I don't like when others see that, and point it out to me.
I like to think I know what is best for me, and I know what will make me happy, and if that person loved me, they would just do what I asked. I get so wrapped up in what I want that I forget to see that maybe the other person has a valid point, or a better plan.
My prayers are very selfish right now to God. In my prayers, I'm basically telling God that I know what would make me happy, and it would be great if He could help make that happen. While I think it is okay to have prayer intentions, I think I'm very wrong in feeling that I can tell God what is best for me.
Each time I pray, I realize the selfishness in my prayer, and I try to turn away from it, but I'm struggling with it. These requests are always in the front of my mind, and it's hard to get them out of my mind while I'm praying.
I think tonight's prayers will just be for a sense of peace, and better ability to trust in God.
