Stop Making Excuses

Lord, I don't want to live my life always making excuses, explaining my behavior, placing blame elsewhere, giving reasons why or why not - even to the point of deceiving my own self.

I want to be transparent with you - with myself.  I want to have the courage to look and see what's really there and call it by it's name.  I want to be free in the Truth.

No pretense.  No acting.  No pretending.

I want to concentrate on my own mistakes and on others victories and successes - not the other way around.

Humility.  Transparency.  Honesty.

Help me, please.
