Rationalizing

There are two ways of rationalizing your sins, which make it impossible for our Lord to help you.

1. "Lord, it's not me, it's my situation!"

You have placed the blame externally and refused help from our Lord. He can only change you if you admit that it is you.

2. "Lord, you're not expecting more from little me, are You?"

You are denying the power of His grace. Yes, you are infinitely small, but God's grace is enough.
