Lord, I gotta be honest with these words.

Sometimes your gospel seems so absurd.

Unheard of the way that you wash me clean.

why God why God a sinner like me every time I know I repent and I am clean

Every time I'm hypnotized by another screen I know, Lord, I fall down, you pick me up

An endless cycle, beautiful how you never give up.

Yet Lord, my faith is weak, I'm a worm.

The vision of my sinfulness makes me squirm.

I know, I know of your love.

I felt it before your presence from above Yet it's so hard for me to just let go

I let my face cover everything they don't know.

It just clenches my mind, all the pictures from my past.

Yet your grace, it washes me clean when I ask.

Lord, forgive me.

In Jesus' name I pray.

Amen You say that you listen to prayers from all your sons

Even though we often take advantage of your love Please take me to a place of deeper understanding

Lord, don't abandon your sheep.

I will be stranded.

I want to know your heart.

I want you to be my standard.

Help me to love my brothers without being demanded.

My heart's feeling calloused.

I am thrown off balance by those who mess with my equilibrium with their malice.

Father, fill me up with your compassion for the masses It's obvious I need a new prescription for my glasses on the daily It's crucial that you renew my mind Cause I review my crimes that you put on Jesus Christ I wanna treat all my sisters with utter righteousness But it's so hard when they throw on that skimpy little dress Elohim, please give me your deeper measure of wisdom I gotta keep my focus on your cross and your kingdom

Father, revive my heart.

I desperately...

needs you.

In Jesus' name I pray.

Amen.

Father, I yearn for close encounters with you.

You know where you brought me from and what I've been through.

These acts of sin try and penetrate my skin, but I thank you for your protection against all of them.

The hold on.

My struggles lately have been driving me crazy.

All these theological concepts.

The doctrines of men.

Studies of your words, so many views Causing the separation called denominations And it's really tearing me up within

Cause I can't call it What's the real truth when you're speaking Heavy pastor sounds so convincing My brain is leaking

I feel like one being caught up in the ways of doctrine swaying side to side getting lost in

Feeling like an imbecile.

Lord, I want to press into you.

Reveal a deeper measure of truth.

Holy Spirit, minister to my heart and plant the righteous fruit.

Teach me like you taught the disciples I desire to grow in your truth And not by some man's study of the Bible

Yes, Lord, I just reach out to you and depend upon you to show me your truth, Lord.

That I won't be so dependent upon what other men say

Please guide me, Father, that I may know your word for how it should be known.

According to you, I pray in Jesus' name, amen.

Rejoice in the Lord always.

I will say it again, rejoice.

Let your gentleness be evident to all.

The Lord is near.

Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and petition.

With thanksgiving, present your requests to God.

And the peace of God.

which transcends all understanding will guard your hearts

and your minds in Christ Jesus.

Amen.
