weakness
I’m truly thankful I found this space where I can open up and confess to my brothers and sisters, just as the Bible encourages us to do.
Looking back both in my distant past and more recently I see how much wickedness I’ve allowed into my life.
I’ve stolen, lied, gossiped, and used foul language.
I’ve broken promises, turned to drugs and alcohol, and allowed evil thoughts to take hold.
I’ve lusted, acted out in anger, followed selfish agendas, and committed many sins both knowingly and unknowingly.
I’ve taken God’s name in vain, watched things I shouldn’t have, and fallen repeatedly into sexual sin.
There are countless things I’ve done sins of commission and omission some I remember, many I may have forgotten.
And so, I fall on my knees and pray:
Lord, please forgive me.
Forgive me for every sin past and present, remembered and forgotten.
Cleanse my heart, renew my mind, and restore my soul.
I know now, more than ever, how much I need You, Lord.
We all do.
Without Your grace, mercy, and forgiveness, we are lost.
But with You, there is hope.
With You, there is healing.
