The Fight Within

Sovereign Lord,

The more time passes, the more I understand that I need You.
Every time I strive to live on my own, I fail and fall on my face.

You know my heart, and that kills me daily.
My heart is filled with despair, anguish, hopelessness, anger and things that others do not see but do not escape your eye.

Oh Father!
Oh God!

I know what I want to do and what I do not want to do. Yet, what I want not to do is what I do, but what I want to do is not what I do.

I cringe at the thought of what You think of me; but I know if I believe, I stand justified by faith alone in Christ.
In You I trust, but I show You not!

Some friend I am! Maybe, I am not a true friend to You, but You are to me.
You carried the cross and died for me. Please forgive me for taking You for granted—it’s just that I do not fully understand the grandeur of what You have done.

In the end what matters is only You and solely You. So, I plea for your pardon for failing so miserably with my life even after You came and showed us how to live.

Here I stand with only my belief in Christ, and I hope that is good enough for You.
