What is it that causes such a block between intellectual assent to a truth about God and a heart-changing belief of that same truth? Why am I so dense? The scriptures are clear that the Spirit of the living God resides within my very soul, my innermost being, within me. And yet, I live like a vagabond, like an orphan without a Father’s love, without a Savior, without an indwelling Holy Spirit to guide me, to comfort me, to make me victorious over sin. My soul wanders from temporal pleasure to temporal pleasure, neglecting intimacy with my God.
God of all, I need you. I need you. I need you. I know that I need you. I acknowledge that I need you. And yet I still try to do this “Christian walk” thing on my own. Forgive me. Cleanse me. Purge me. Purify my heart, my soul and my mind so I can learn to love you more, so I can learn to trust you more, so I will run to you first, not after I’ve stumbled and fallen. I am nothing without you. I need you. I need you. I need you.
