Dear Yahweh, Father, El Olam, God, Lord...
I am a failure. I wake up and sin against you every day. I constantly pray to you and I constantly repent, but Lord I am a failure.
You are a perfect God, who gives grace upon unending grace. When I stray, Lord, you are my Shepard who calls me home. Without you I am nothing, without you I am a fleeting thought.
I write this to you Lord to bind my weary heart and to possibly give hope to another.
I made a choice. One of the most important choices a God fearing person will ever make; to accept Jesus into my heart. I am deep in sin if I don't fix my eyes on Him.
We must live in this world, but we can not be of this world for He has incredible plans for us.
Lord, if I even skip one day of praying..worshipping...praising you I find a serpent on my tongue and a blackness in my heart. I need you, we all need you, God.
I find my courage in my amazing Father. I call out, "Daddy," and he responds with a sweet song of eternity in Heaven.
The world will pull us away from Him with things we think we can find our hope in. The reality is that God is our only hope. We may be able to focus on one thing and it may bring monetary happiness but when we do this it pulls us farther away from God than where we should be.
I need to focus my eyes on Him because He is the one that makes the world a blur. I keep my eyes on you, Yahweh, because you are the ONE who provides and gives all things. I need my eyes on Him for He is a good, good Father. I need my eyes on Him because Jesus is my savior, my protector, and my life giver.
2Keep your eyes on Jesus, who both began and finished this race we're in. Study how he did it. Because he never lost sight of where he was headed - that exhilarating finish in and with God - he could put up with anything along the way: cross, shame, whatever. And now he's there, in the place of honor, right alongside God.
Hebrews 12:2
God, I pray that you bind my eyes to thee.
