Hey,
I've been being very lazy lately and haven't been keeping my priorities straight. I've just been a lazy bum in my house, playing video games most of the time. I just made a schedule on my cellphone for all the things I need to do, though. Please pray that I become more productive and stick to the schedule that I have made. The way I've been living produces much sin, such as lying about what I've been doing to my parents (I've been late to school almost everyday since I got my drivers license).
Please pray that I also may stop masturbating, viewing pornography, smoking cigarettes, that I'm able to say "no" to marijuana and alcohol when tempted, to think before I speak, to stop using dirty humor, to stop saying bad words, to stop gossiping, to stop saying hurtful things, to stop lying, to to go to church, to focus on Jesus more, to wake up on time, to help around the house, to stop being angry and hateful, to stop lusting after worldly things, to read more, to study more, to do better in school, and to be less dependent on technology.
Please pray! Lord have mercy! Lord have mercy! Lord have mercy!

It's such an encouragement hearing that others struggle with the same temptations.
Lord, have mercy!

No longer posting due to the Pharisaical behavior of a number of posters here who are more concerned with the letter rather than the spirit of the law.
