My Father,
What shall I do—what can I do?
How can I peel myself from this dark place?
How can I put down this monster that has laid roots within me?
--
Why do you not help me?
Why is there no escape?
Why have you allowed this weight to come upon my mind?
--
It seems like you have abandoned me in this situation.
Yet, I know that you can use anything for your glory.
I know that you use these moments to teach.
In the darkest moments, I know you are always with me.
--
Help me, O Lord!
Rescue me from this inner beast!
Satisfy my soul, Father.
Holy Spirit, fill me and renew me.
You are my only hope and salvation, Jesus.
You are my King.
--
In these moments and every other, I surrender to you.
Let me be yours and root out the evil within me.
Help me, I confess all to you.
Make me new, break me and use me.
--
May the Name of Jesus Christ be glorified in me.
Amen.
