Of all hypocrites, grant that I may not be
an evangelical hypocrite,
who sins more safely because grace abounds,
who tells his lusts that Christ's blood
cleanseth them,
who reasons that God cannot cast him into hell,
for he is saved,
who loves evangelical preaching, churches,
Christians, but lives unholily.

wowza, we probably all fall into that category at some point in our lives. life is hard sometimes.
we talked about 1 Peter 2 some weeks ago at Bible study. The part that stood out the most to me was verse 16, which is exactly what this prayer is about. i love it when that happens :)
