"Pray Then Like This..."

You want to change. You know you need to change. You think you know what to do because you know what's wrong. Just because you know what's wrong doesn't mean that you know how to fix it. And it certainly doesn't mean that you can do it yourself. You cannot do it alone. You need GOD'S help. AMEN

And HE'S PERFECT and ALWAYS on time. AMEN
