A lot of what he says stings. I know that I have many faults and I can identify some of them- overly critical, controlling, my way is the right way, hypocritical, judgmental.

I'm assuming that along the journey I will recognize more? And this may be a silly question, but is there a procedure for working these issues through? Once I identify something I don't like, how do I fix it? I have been praying Psalm 139:23-24 asking God to reveal what qualities I need to change and obviously from my list above, it is working. But now what? I guess I need to keep praying for God to reveal that as well.

I have always known that some of my personality traits are less than desireable, but have had no ideas on how to fix them- or maybe no motivation/reason to?!

Does anyone have any good resources that might help? I am not looking for a quick fix- I know that this is going to take a lot of painful work, and I am ready for that! I know that many of these traits have been around since childhood, and probably because of it. I just want to know how to begin to fix them- for me, not for him.

Thanks everyone!
