Re: put your hand in the hand of the man

i agree, its just that the hard part is not giving into temptation. i am not perfect but that is no excuse to not try and resist temptation.

i am afraid that because failure is a certainty, i will be a disappointment to God. i know there is forgiveness if i ask for it, but i'm afraid i'll be too ashamed to ask for it because of pride.

its discouraging to think about, i am ashamed presently because i know i will fail, i fear the shame in the moment of failure after my conviction, and i'm worried i would be too prideful to ask for and accept forgiveness when this moment comes.

i know i have to somehow overcome my ego, pride, shame now and later and be humble, take the test and accept the results in humility, because the other choice leads to greater suffering. Tweet
