My Prayer

9/25/10 - 2:00AM
YHWH Shama,
I am coming to you, God, tired...broken...and as a helpless sinner. I have fallen, yet again, into lust of the heart manifested in physical form, AND I NEED YOU. I cannot fight this sin within or without if I fight alone. So, right now, in words and thoughts, I lay my burden at the foot of Your cross, Lord, and I want Your yoke. You promised that Your yoke is easy, and that Your burden is light. I am tired of my yoke and I want Yours, God. Please, send your Spirit to cleanse this wretched heart of mine. I know I am saved, and I know that Your work in me is not yet complete, but I need You to hold me and put Your light into me. You, YOU, are the God who hears the cry of His lambs. I have strayed from Your path, Father, and I need Your right-hand to guide me back. I am unable to do this for myself. I pray that You would put people in my life that can strengthen me in You and who will hold me accountable. I love You, Lord, and I want to serve you better. I thank You, Father, for breaking me; for sending me somewhere I would never want to be...yet here You are, right here to guide me through the darkness. I yearn to be pure of heart, and to be one that loves You above all else. I yearn to no longer be hypocritical, but to fight back when sin creeps up, and to flee temptation when it arrives. But, alone I am powerless...I need Your Spirit to do a number on my soul...wash me, mold me, heat me to perfection, then guide me as I look more and more to You. Lord God, I love You and thank you so much for all the blessings You bestow upon me. I thank You for friends and family who love me, and for a passion to know You more clearly. I now pray You would work a repentant heart within me and that when I awake I would have a renewed Spirit working to Your Glory. I love You my God, my King, my Savior and my Sustainer. Continue to work your goodness in me until the day You come back. In your blessed and Holy name. AMEN

This post is about as intimate and personal it can get from me. Sometimes though, you just have to lay it all out to those that truly care and tell them straight how things are in your life.
SO, my hope is that reading this you will get a fuller sense of who I am, how I struggle and know that I am just in need of friendly prayers and support.
