There are so many things we wrestle with in life. How much more are there when we are trying to live godly lifestyles! It's not always easy to recognize our sins and shortcomings- but we have to. In order for us to grow in the Lord, we must be willing to see ourselves in the light of His Word. We can not see the sin in everyone else and exclude ourselves [Mat 7:1-5 CEV "Don't condemn others, and God won't condemn you. God will be as hard on you as you are on others! He will treat you exactly as you treat them. You can see the speck in your friend's eye, but you don't notice the log in your own eye. How can you say, "My friend, let me take the speck out of your eye," when you don't see the log in your own eye? You're nothing but show-offs! First, take the log out of your own eye. Then you can see how to take the speck out of your friend's eye."]. Let's seek the Lord for our personal deliverance so that we are able to effectively help others.

 

 

 

Three Prayers

 

Can You take away this burning pain
Mend the pieces of a broken heart
Dry the waters of a stormy rain
Unforgiveness is tearing me apart

Can you take away these burning tears
Enough to fill a thousand seas
The voices of unending fear
That I hear tormenting me

Can you take away this hate inside
When Your people do me wrong
Makes me want to run away and hide
I’ve been bitter way too long

Can you take away this jealousy
And the envy that I feel
When You’re blessing everyone but me
I let the anger build and build

Answer these three prayers for me
Touch my eyes so I can see,
Set my heart and spirit free
,
Loose the chains of the enemy.

Can you take away the lie of pride
That makes me act like a fool
I never ask the question why
Because I am too good

Can you take my insecurity
That slowly strips away my faith
It keeps me from my destiny
In an incoherent state

Can you save a wretch like me
I’m just a broken vessel
Full of inconsistencies
My spirit man and flesh wrestle

Can you change this lump of clay-
Void and without form-
Into an instrument of praise
Used before Your throne

 

Answer these three prayers for me
Touch my eyes so I can see,
Set my heart and spirit free
,
Loose the chains of the enemy.
