2 Corinthians 1:9

Indeed, in our hearts we felt the sentence of death.
But this happened that we might not rely on ourselves but on God,
who raises the dead.


Heavenly Father,

To feel dead at heart is to be missing the love and life of you from within,
At times it is there for us to strengthen our character and other times from being reckless through sin.

These are the dark moments in our lives where our connection with you is gone,
And we feel lost and alone, left wondering what happened, where did we go wrong.

Self examination takes place as we look within to see where we need to purge,
And we seek your guidance and direction as our soul calls out with an urge.

When we are independent from you our behaviour leads us to fall,
And with cries of anguish we are reminded of our dependence on you and your call.

It demonstrates to us how as humans our actions leave us lost in the dark,
And Jesus is our salvation and it is him we need to learn from and to hark.

As humans we are imperfect and are learning to sustain the character of Jesus within,
And through your love, grace and mercy, you are compassionate and forgive us with a Heavenly grin.

I sing and dance in all of your Glory in these times as you show me where I need to learn and grow,
And how without you I am nothing and you teach me what I need to know.

I pray that I never loose sight that you sustain my life in all ways as I live,
And if I should feel darkness that I always seek your love and ask you to forgive.

God Bless,
Gina
