The new job has filled up the void left behind by gambling
It has kept me busy and occupied
One day at a time, I just need to do my best to keep this job
I had to be discipline and I need to focus on today or the present
I have less time to fear that I will fail
I have struggle to stay on any job in the past
I truly regret all my wrongdoings in this life
I feel very guilty of all my sins in the past
I ask for God’s forgiveness; I pray for God’s mercy and grace.
I used to be very self-righteous
I used to believe that God only help those who help themselves
Today I pray for God to help me because I could not stay change for long.
I was like the dog that return to its vomit or the pig that rolled in the mud
When I was stress, I gamble.
This new job provided me abundant free time to read.
Matthew 6:33 ESV “But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you.”
Matthew 6:34, New World Translation. “Do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.”— Matthew 6:34, New International Version. Jesus, who spoke those words, assured his listeners that they would not need to be overly worried, or unduly anxious, about future problems.
Matthew 6:25-34.
“Therefore I tell you, do not be anxious about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink, nor about your body, what you will put on. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothing?
Look at the birds of the air: they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them.
Are you not of more value than they?
And which of you by being anxious can add a single hour to his span of life?
And why are you anxious about clothing?
Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow: they neither toil nor spin,
yet I tell you, even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.
Matthew 6:1-4 ESV “Beware of practicing your righteousness before other people in order to be seen by them, for then you will have no reward from your Father who is in heaven. “Thus, when you give to the needy, sound no trumpet before you, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, that they may be praised by others.
