Ask for Deliverance

So, a question in the addiction recovery manual asks what it is that keeps me from crying mightily in humble prayer for deliverance from bondage and what has kept me from doing so in the past. I really don't know the answer.

The obvious answer is pride. Of course pride had prevented me from asking in the past, but now it's only part of the problem. Perhaps it had something to do with not wanting to be humble. Perhaps I was so set in my ways in the past that I had no real desire to change. Perhaps, though, it is because it is too easy not to. I had convinced myself that it was not worth it.

The truth of the matter is that I do want to change. I can change. I know The Lord will be there for me.
