Sin is upon me like the color of my skin, sometimes. What do I do? I didn't expect temptation to affect me and accuse me and assault me everyday.
Others have made it look easy. They don't seem to struggle. I feel like I'm the only one coming with the same thing to you everyday.
Yet, Your Word has promised deliverance from sin and shame and though I don't feel it yet in my experience. I am aware that You never lie.
I am trying to keep myself from clinging to my sin and regularly taking it to You, until You deliver me from it's presence, I am confessing it. Because I know that when You are done with sin and death You will wrap it all up and throw it away from Your good presence. In that day, I want to be clinging to Christ and not to the sin which has a payday coming.
Now, there is no condemnation. I believe that. I feel condemnation and I feel shame and I feel accused, sometimes. Fear is the tool of Christ to help me to flee to You, from my sin. Please, Lord, help me remember to flee to You, even when I don't want to.
I want to let it go. I don't know how, but I am asking and requesting Your help to be clinging to Christ today and especially in that day. Deliver me, for the sake of the shed blood of Jesus. I trust and desire to walk in obedience, Help, Lord,
Amen.I hear the Saviour say, "Thy strength indeed is small; Child of weakness, watch and pray, Find in in Me thine all in all." Refrain: Jesus paid it all, All to Him I owe; Sin had left a crimson stain, He washed it white as snow. Lord, now indeed I find Thy pow'r, and Thine alone, Can change the leper's spots, And melt the heart of stone. For nothing good have I Whereby Thy grace to claim; I'll wash my garments white In the the blood of Calv'ry's Lamb. And when, before the throne, I stand in Him complete, "Jesus died my soul to save," My lips shall still repeat.
