Father, forgive me! I am completely broken. I keep finding myself caught up doing exactly the things I know I am not supposed to be doing. I’m failing to be of sober mind, constantly looking with lustful intent, being selfish and unforgiving, lacking both passion and compassion for my neighbors. Even worse, showing no humility, no remorse, no regard for the Grace that you have extended to me.

How can I make up for it? I want to do something to try to help myself, but I also know that I am completely helpless apart from Grace. There is no “saving myself”. There is nothing that I can do. Lord, help me to constantly proclaim “holy, holy, holy is Yahweh of hosts.”

Is 6:1-7, Ro 7:19-25
