I have been thinking about my character flaws and weaknesses a lot lately. I am thinking that I am old enough to have conquered these by now. I am hungering and thirsting for righteousness and holiness in my life. When I journal in the evening, I write a lot about the things in me that need fixing. Every evening, I confess my sins, weaknesses, and character flaws and ask passionately for God’s power and strength to conquer my flesh and the devil and grow to become like Jesus in every area of my life. Verses that I have been memorizing and meditating on.

1 Peter 1:15 but like the Holy One who called you, be holy yourselves also in all your behavior.

2 Corinthians 7:1 Therefore, having these promises, beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from all defilement of flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God.

1 Timothy 6:11 But flee from these things, you man of God, and pursue righteousness, godliness, faith, love, perseverance and gentleness.

Matthew 5:6 Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they shall be satisfied.

Hebrews 6:1 Therefore leaving the elementary teaching about the Christ, let us press on to maturity.

Philippians 3:12-14 Not that I have already obtained it or have already become perfect, but I press on so that I may lay hold of that for which also I was laid hold of by Christ Jesus. Brethren, I do not regard myself as having laid hold of it yet; but one thing I do: forgetting what lies behind and reaching forward to what lies ahead, I press on toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus.

2 Corinthians 5:9 Therefore we also have as our ambition, whether at home or absent, to be pleasing to Him.
