I can only do that by living the life God wants me to live which means to die of self, but that\u2019s not how I live most of the time.  I have my moments when I know I honor God, but they are two few and far between.  To live the life I\u2019m called to live my focus is to live each moment for God in a way that honors him.<\/p>\n<p>Application: The only way I can live a Godly life is to allow God to live through me.  To be in prayer and ask myself before I do anything, am I honoring God by this choice, is this what God wants me to do.  At the end of the day in prayer I\u2019ll know if I honored God, when I feel his embrace and hear the words I want to hear, well done good and faithful servant.<\/p>\n<p>Prayer: Dear Lord I\u2019m a sinner and I know it and only by your mercy and grace am I saved and only by you can I live a holy life pleasing to you.  Take charge of this servant. I freely give you this life, take it and create in it something pleasing to you.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Scripture: 2 Peter 3:11 Since everything will be destroyed in this way, what kind of people ought you to be?
