being my All in All
being I Am
loving me, forgiving me, extending grace to me when I don't deserve it. Which is all the time.

Please, God, forgive me. There is so much evil in my heart and I have to work so hard to get it out because it's a part of me and it's engrained in me. But so is Your Word and Truth, and eternity. Help me to dwell on THAT. I know I don't have the strength to rid myself of all this grossness, so  pray that You do it for me. Or help me. I want my heart set on You. Focused on You. Spending time with You. Reading Your Word. Not given Satan a foothold to tear me down. Not giving in to temptation. Please. Help me. You are so good and so awesome and wonderful. Your beauty in creation never ceases to astound me and I thank you for the masterful artwork you designed for our aesthetic pleasure, to demonstrate your vastness and goodness that we are able to praise You for.

Amen.
