Assuming that waiting patiently before the Lord is a part of
the growth process for my life as a believer, I might ask:

trusting less and worrying more than necessary?”

of my life should always be a part of my life, I might ask:

Realizing that love, truth, and complete openness before the
Lord should find their way into my life on a regular basis,

the Lord while striving to lift him up in all areas of my
life, I might ask:

“Am I sharing my pain and frustrations with the Lord while
at the same time being careful to enjoy him whenever and
however I can… with his help?”
