I lose myself in the pleasures of the world but say that I'm seeking the Lord.
I say I am committed but really I'm just floating by.
I say I want a relationship but yet am so afraid of actually pursuing one.
Now don't get me wrong, I have no doubt I am incredibly blessed and provided for by my Lord my God.
But even this I deserve none of. I am chasing the world so hard that I reach the end of the day knowing that something is missing no matter the hours of TV I watch, the cookies I eat, the amount of time I focus on my career. It is all for nothing because I am chasing it all as a means to an end in itself and not in Christ. As if I do not know better. But oh Lord my God, save me from myself and my wandering heart. For the narrow path is not for the weak of character, and it is not for my mindset in the present. Lord, forgive me of my wanderings and tune my heart to you above all.
May I not be of the lackluster facade that ultimately lacks you underneath. Lord please strengthen me in self control.
For the world tastes so sweet for the weak in character, and the world to me is sweetest in my moments of exhaustion, I can hope will pass as I pass through these classes this weekend.
Lord have mercy on me and let my heart no longer lean on the excuses.
