"Oh, brother, I'm far away from everything good."

If its not too much to ask

 

I think I'm ready to come back now

 

You probably have a stern lecture for me, a big season of disciplining is now in full force, I can feel it, I think.

 

Its all a big lesson.

 

Does that mean you chastize me? (Hebrews 12:6) Is it really a lesson of love rather than hate? Do you completely not like me anymore? Do you look down in shame on me? Am I off the book? Am I gone from your mind of loved ones? Please tell me you're still there and willing to get me back to the top of the mountain where I was before. Bring me back to the level of faith that I long to have again.

 

I don't want to know that I'm no longer a daughter but I'm afraid that is the current truth.

 

Everything feels so wrong. I have grown weary, I have grown so weak.

 

I have never resisted to the point of blood. This shames me beyond anything. Why! The fire has been put out and its all my fault. You were right all along, and I knew it, but I purposely chose to go the other way. Even your Word seems foreign now. What a bad season! I'm ruined. I'm gone. I have been living halfway and no way. I lost everything I had built in you. Help me and have mercy on me because I can't believe right now that you love me. I can't believe that your grace will take me back now. I can't believe it when all I've done was spit forgiveness in the face and throw away redemption and repentance to the wind. I'm done for, Lord take me back because there's no way I can do this on my own. There needs to be a revival and I have to come back to you, my heart feels so heavy.

 

And all I tried to do,

was see the best in you

 

Look where its gotten me.
