Confession

Last night during our TAWG exercise, we walked through how to use ACTS as an acronym for personal prayer.

Adoration (Telling God how awesome He is)
Confession (Coming clean on where we have disobeyed/rebelled against God)
Thanksgiving (Thanking God for what He's given us and doing in us)
Supplication (Presenting our requests to God, both personal and for others)

During the Confession section, I took some time to consider where my greatest sin struggles are right now. Two sins that really jumped out at me...

1. Gluttony - It's most connected with the over-indulgence of food, and this is something God has really convicted me over. But it runs deeper than this. I constantly want more of everything. And at the heart of this is a sick thought that my overindulgence will bring me peace and satisfaction.
2. Sloth - Apathy or laziness. It's my default mode... to put 'er in neutral and sit back. Go excessive on anything and everything that does nothing to draw me closer to Christ.
   

Are these the two worst sins in my life? Probably not. But they are two that God clearly convicted me over last night. In that moment, the point was to admit where this was present in my life and to seek forgiveness. A day later the challenge is what steps I'm to take to see these sins stomped out in my life...
