As I have been studying more about prayer I came across something written by John Piper that made me pause and examine myself and how often I stop and consider how I have treated God in light of all that He is.
Every day do I consider the quality of my relationship with Him and whether I have offended Who He is or just the sins I commit that affect others. I know all sin is against God, but I really didn't understand it in this way. I must say it was a rude awakening to realize that I take so much of who God is for granted.
This has become part of my daily prayer time, to examine how I have sinned against Him in a more intimate way by examining my behavior and attitudes against His marvelous attributes. I hope it will take you to another level of intimacy with Him as it has me. With love and blessings, Carole
