Once Again!

Why does my mind
Play tricks on me?
Why does it think
The worst of situations?
When there is no
Reason for thinking so?
I imagine the worst, and
It rarely comes to pass.

Why do I struggle with the
Same sins over and over?
How many times must
I learn the same lesson?
The wretchedness of my
Mind is ever before me.

Oh Lord please forgive me
Once again!
His Word says that
I should not worry;

Oh Lord please help
Me to be obedient.
Please help me to
Trust you at your Word!

Thank God for His
Patience with me!
Thank God for His
Faithfulness;
Even though I am faithless!

Thank God for His forgiveness!
Thank you, Heavenly Father,
For sending Jesus and making
It possible for me to change, and
Be a little more like You.

Day by day, ever change me
Father into the person
You created me to be.
May my life bring you glory.
