Oh, Lord! I am so mournfully sorry. I did not want to see yesterday. I wanted to believe I knew better, that I could take it from here. I wanted to control my own fate. I closed my fist to hang on tight once again. Lord it is yours! It is not mine, it was never mine! I was not dying to self. I was trying to take your plan from you and make it my own. How foolish I was! Please forgive me and have mercy on me! Please pour out your love, your grace as you teach me and as I slowly and painfully learn this lesson again and again. Not my ways father, but yours... not in my timing Lord but yours!
How I was drowning in pride, trying to prove, Lord, I was tested, I was tempted... and I fell for the enemys deceitful plan. He saw me rising up in my own power and he whispered to those who could bring me down. Please, forgive me, my Savior and my God. Bring me back to you. I give you control again lord, I do not want it. I have allowed myself to be used and pushed down again. Take control of my hands, my feet, my words. Cover me, cover me with your wings, protect me, give me strength through your truths. Stand in front of me, blocking me from the snares of the father of darkness.
I praise you as my almighty God, for opening my eyes to reveal what I have done, to show me clearly where you are and where the enemy lingers...help me to not take this lesson for granted.
