I have been so down in the dumps I have no words to pray. I have choice to dwell in this terrible place of apathy and depression or to look up to God for help.
If there is Even a Spark of Desire
Dumb-founded, confused as in a daze,
Lost and unknowing as if in a maze,
Voices; so many sounds; bad and good,|
Hearing but not hearing; wisdom is not understood.
There are roads high and low with temptations on every side;
With little nooks and crannies for evil to hide.
Lights shine neon- with loud noises everywhere;
With much to tempt; more than enough to spare.
Unhealthy morsels mixed with healthy and good,
Activities to fill time, some profitable, some not as it should;
Time-stealers that numbs brains; so unable to clearly think;
With many kinds of beverages available to drink.
Numerous poisonous teachings that encourages self to live,
That places blame on others, assuring there is no need to forgive.
Programs to make your body a possession placed on display;
But denies the Spirit within to help God’s Word obey.
It is difficult for some to find truth and to its way accept,
It is a struggle; for it is necessary to crucify the flesh.
But with God nothing is impossible to attain.
With God’s help you are able to break away the chains.
He loves you; if there is even a spark of desire to your sins admit,
He finds where you are and reaches out to help you in it.
He desires all to come to repentance if he so wills.
The hopeless becomes the hopeful; new and fulfilled.
The lost becomes found, the poor rich indeed.
He saves to utmost all who desire to His help receive.
1 John 1:8-9
If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us.
