Christ is your one teacher. ~ Matthew 23:10b (CEB)
Lord, since you are my teacher, it would be foolish to look for advice elsewhere. But I confess that sometimes I pay attention to the old local customs about spirits and magic. Sometimes I do superstitious things. And sometimes I start to think that all modern science and technology teachers have all the answers. I know that it doesn't make sense. I am a bundle of contradictions. But, please, recognize my desire to hear your word and to be changed by it. Teach me about your ways. I want to follow you alone as my teacher. Amen.Challenging Words
