“For my iniquities have gone over my head; like a heavy burden, they are too heavy for me.” -Psalm 38.4
God, my sins are too heavy for me, my burden is too heavy for me. I am such a failure. I wrap myself in your word and in prayer and yet the smallest hole in my armor allows the flooding waters of sin to drown me. I can’t take one step without your presence, without your strength carrying me.
Why do I run and embrace the rotten fruit when the eternally good tree is right in front of me? I plead to you for forgiveness and can only take comfort in the fact that I know your mercy is greater than mine. If it were on my power I don’t think I could forgive someone after so much wrong against me, yet I delight in the knowledge that you will.
Protect me God. Receive my repentance and bury me in your arms. Shield me from the Devil. Turn my eyes only to you and my lips solely to your praises. Carry me, Father. I am weak!
