· How do I live to God?
· Do I belong to Christ Jesus? Have I crucified the flesh with its passions and desires? But I still have passions and desires My LORD.
· I have no understanding My LORD. I am weak and I am very tired.
· Am I cursed My LORD? Why do you have so many curses My LORD? Why not just kill me? What does it mean to be cursed? A curse is the opposite of a blessing? Why don’t You just kill me? Why don’t You kill me for my sins? Why am I alive? What are curses for?
