Lord,
I am lost and can't find myself,
My true self is somewhere walking your straight and narrow path,
But here I am like a scared little boy lost in the woods with no way out.
The wolves closing in around him, around me.
Every now and then I catch a glimps of who I'm supposed to be,
Then like a dream it is gone and I'm left with the version of myself which I hate.
Help! Show me the path that leads me to safety before the enemy devours me!
Save me from myself!
My afflictions are my own fault.
Forgive me Father for I have sinned against You.
My sin is like a veil that covers my eyes,
So I am like a blind man trying to escape a maze.
Forgive me Lord Jesus, remove the veil so that I may see you and your purpose for my life.
Reveal to me your perfect will.
Guide me down the path of righteousness,
So that I may live my life completely for you.
My ways are destructive to me and all who know me.
Your ways are perfect and uplifting.
Make me the man I am supposed to be.
I give all to you for you are my Savior, my rescuer.
All that I have is yours for all I have came from you.
My heart is yours and no one elses.
My body is your temple, send your Spirit to dwell in me
Guide me in every move I make.
Make me selfless, make me like you.
Holy Spirit you are my compass and I will follow wherever you lead,
Jesus I am your disciple and Father I am your child
Forever and ever amen.
