C. SPIRITUALWe do not ask GOD

“I” control and dominate (instead of allowing God to control)“I” do things for others because they make me feel good (instead of pleasing God)“I” do things for others bec. they make me feel needed (instead of needing God). It gives me self-worth.

We just need to recognize how weak we are, how foolish we are, how insufficient we are.We just need to admit that sometimes we have wrong

motives.We do not pray and seek God’s

will but instead our prayers revolve around my will.
