Last week, I worked with my brother who is a building contractor. The day's project was a residential remodel. The house looked good from the outside, but the inside was not a pretty sight. My brother took me to the back room and said, work on this room today. He said, "The walls in this room are worn and damaged". "Tear down the drywall but leave the frame standing". I asked, "Why not just tear down the whole wall and put up a new one". He said, "The frame is still good". "Its still strong and durable". So I tore down the old rotted drywall, stripped it of any left over nails and screws, and revealed the frame. It was still strong and in good shape. Back to my prayer. So I asked God to come into my life. I asked God to tear down all of the worn and damaged things inside of me. My negative thoughts, doubts, frustrations, anger, discouragement, fear, anxiety, and pain. God let me know that my soul was still strong. All the damaged and rotted things in me just had to be removed...

Can I share with you? God is imaginary.

There was a Man in the Bible who Looked at a Neighbors Wall (stone), it was broken down and weeds grew all over it.
That Man didn't Take Care of his Wall.
The man who Looked at the Wall Recieved (discernment from GOD) Information (Learned) alot from Looking at the Wall.
GOD is Teaching You, The Holy Spirit Teaches Us when we Seek.
GOD Bless! (Build a GOOD Wall and Watch over it (Read Your Bible and Pray--Diligently-(daily)) to Keep it Strong (keep devil Out!).
GOD Bless!

Sounds like a great prayer. We all need to make a prayer like that often.
May God reward your faith and humility with peace and love.

That is a real good way to look at what all saved people need to do. I know I sure have many things that need to be taken out of my life so Christ can have all of me.

Consider this. You might be simply speaking to yourself. Either way, if it produces positive change, it's a good thing.
