When bad things provoke good

I have been frustrated at myself lately. I don't ever make enough time to sit and read my bible or pray like I should. That got me thinking....have I truly given my life over to Him or do I just say I have and live according to my own fleshly desires and wants? Why don't I make Him THE priority in my life like I know is in my heart to do? Am I simply human and let life's daily tasks get in the way or does it go deeper than that? Am I afraid? Thus the question following....I am anxious to hear others responses and have actually gotten a few. They will be in a later post. So, ponder, look up scripture, do whatever, but please let me know what you think!


The question is: Do we make the decision to die unto ourselves only once in our lives or is it a continual choice we make on a daily basis as long as we are living of this world and have our own fleshly desires and wants?
