Why do I wrong You, O Lord?1
Bite the hand that not only feeds me, but created me?2
I say I follow after You, and everyone believes it,3
But I know the truth...4
My mind is a wasteland, and my body weak,5
I fall into temptation easily,6
My reality has somehow turned to fantasy,7
And my feelings for You are falling away8
Help me God, to LOVE YOU,9
And change my ruthless, evil ways10
I know my state of mind,11
When I enter into sin,12
Yet why don't I resist?13
Why don't I call on the Lord?14
Because my flesh is weak, my spirit unwilling.15
I can't bear to live a life without You,16
But I can't seem to stay in Your love either17
And that's where I'm wrong,18
I can't leave Your Love, 19
No One Can20
And so no matter what happens from now on,21
Whether I can feel You or not,22
I know Your Love is always there,23
Ready and willing to be tapped24
My heart of stone will become one of flesh,25
And soon the love of Jesus Christ,26
Which no thing in creation can take,27
Will shower me with Grace and Mercy for all my days,28
"And I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever and ever"29

Thanks for giving me this lovely prayer. It is very personal (which means I feel a lot of emotion in it) and very well written. Thanks for sharing this with us and thanks for entering it into this contest.
