Meditation: Habitual Sins

What I need to stay on guard for are sins committed frequently in the normal course of daily living. These habitual sins have been confessed to God a multitude of times already, with declarations to God of shunning these regretful actions, promising to cease from committing them.Yet, I find myself in the same shameful situation as before. I thank God for the mercy of the cross and the abundance of His grace. I'm thankful for love and understanding from family and true friends. Today I pray that I may never reach the point of taking forgiveness and mercy for granted. I pray to value the feelings of my loved ones over my own and to value the glory of Christ over my unholy passions.
