God, though you're invisible-
your eye's pierce my heart as if your sword tore open my chest.
I can't see you…. but my soul knows you're
near.
I know you're compassionate Lord...
yet, I can't loosen the grip that holds this
pain so close.
I wrap
myself in it causing constant and purposed torture.
My eyes are down-cast; I can't lift my head, so
test me O' Lord and search my heart - for only you can bare to see what keeps
itself deep in the recesses of that chamber.
Lord God, you're invisible….but I know you're
near.
This purposed conflict-that is consuming me-was
ordained by you and you understand it well.
Tears tell me the revelation of truth will be
arriving soon and I'm waiting.
You're waiting too…. waiting for me to lift my
head so that you can tell me all you need to- as I seek your face.
Your Word and my heart tell me that I need to
change….
but my mind is telling me that I don't deserve
such a simple resolution.
Lord, I'm seeking you….and I know you're near…
for I'm in desperate need for the peace that
comes with surrender.
My heartbeat will steady and my mind will turn
quiet
and this bottomless pit of shame will
begin to fill with your mercy.
My self-torture will end and then I'll be
ready!
You will allow this to be over and I will find
the courage to look up and see hope-for the end of shame brings forth nothing
else but that.
You are compassionate Lord…for how else could I
make amends with myself…and accept the forgiveness that gives me underserved
peace.
Lord, you're near….for I couldn't have worked
this out on my own.
Though you're invisible… your presence is so
powerful that I couldn't deny
your request.
I accept the revelation of your grace for there
simply was no other way.
You say I am forgiven! I finally release my
burdens and whisper "Thank God,
I am changed!"
