Reverse Brainwashing

Sometimes when something goes wrong, I subconsiously blurt out, or think, "please god" or "help me god." It means nothing of course, because I don't stand by these words or believe in them.

Rather, they seek to God for forgiveness and love, and all that, which leads to inner strength; they ask God for him to give THEMSELVES inner strength, not just "meh, give me some strength so I can make this touchdown".

And they do.
Again, before you go making life decisions, look into the other directions that you're denying. Hard. Might change your mind.
