Faith
As I sit here all alone, I wonder where You are. It's been a long time since You've been on my mind. Things are crazy right now. I don't know which way to turn. I need Your help Lord, 'cause I can't do life on my own.
My friend tells me that Your son died for me so that I could live. And when I die, it will not be the end as long as I trust and follow You.
Will You really give me a new start on life? All the terrible things I have done in my life--and You will take them off my slate? It seems all too easy. I feel like I would have to clean myself up before even considering getting to know You. You are so perfect--and me? Well, I'm me. I cuss, I have a bad temper, and I don't deserve You! But my friend tells me that I can have You in my life. You will come as long as I wholeheartedly invite You in. He also told me that changes won't happen immediately in my life. He says You and I have a lot of work to do.
But why do I have to give up control of my life to You? I sometimes like my life. That is, until something bad happens and it feels like no one has control anymore. Can I trust You God? Will You keep me safe and make me stronger? I can't do this on my own! I'm tired of trying to do everything all by myself! I am weak and I need your strength O Lord!!
God, I want you to lead me through life. I know I am a sinner and I am far from being perfect. I know your son, Jesus Christ, died for me so that I could be with you forever. I'm ready for you! I want to follow you. I can't do this on my own anymore!!
Amen

This is so honest and He is so near, we can be honest with Him. I often make a mess of things when I try to handle it myself. It is only through faith in His finished work on the cross that I can stand at all. I have my past too, but our pasts are covered in the precious blood of the lamb. Those sins are removed as far as the east is from the west. I can't be Good Enough. No one can but Jesus. Please, keep writing and expressing your heart to Him. He hears your cries. He has already made provisions for whatever we face. luv ya
