Never have I felt so weird because I realized that my way of communicating with others often ticks others off. And that's the last thing I want others to feel, whether they've known me for years or the first time. Lord, would you remove any arrogance, self-righteousness, and pride in my communication, whether there is any or not. I desire to change the way I communicate with others and to be a person who does not offend anyone but the enemy. Jeff is a true friend and I totally appreciate his honesty and respect for me by telling me what I have done that just does not work.
I think I've taken love for granted.
Even Yours, Jesus.
What's wrong with me?
I rather not speak at all if the words are not edifying and encouraging.
Jesus, I need You. I come before You on my knees and ask for Your forgiveness if I have ever spoken wrongly toward my friends and family or even my attitude offended them. I need to get away from everything and go to You first. It's been a stressful week and I just haven't been setting some time apart to worship.
I haven't felt so broken for years.
Yet You still love me.

Psalm 51:17
"The sacrifice God wants is a broken spirit. God, you will not reject a heart that is broken and sorry for sin."
