Mistakes & Missteps

Published on 7 September 2024 at 08:44

LORD, my mistakes.

Missteps.

Screw-ups.

Bad choices.

Wrong decisions.

They haunt me, torment me.

Regrets, sorrows, and shames.

 

Rick always said that he was harder on himself than anyone else was, and a lot harder on himself than he was on anyone else.

I’m learning that those are words of anguish and truth.

 

My mind looks backwards a lot these days – and I wish I could undo my regrets.

But I can’t.

It’s a waste of time and energy to look back, how do I not though?

 

GOD, how do I release my mistakes – all of this – to YOU?

 

When I am afraid, LORD, I trust in YOU . . .

I don’t know what YOU are going to do, and I sure don’t know how YOU are going to do – but whatever brings YOU the Glory.

 

I pray that somehow YOU will bring a message out of my messes.

And a testimony out of all these tests.

That somehow YOU will make a beauty from all these ashes.

I can’t.

It is too much for me.

Psalm 131.

 

GOD, I am going to keep on making mistakes – too human not to.

Thank YOU that YOUR Grace is enough – at least between YOU and me.

Others aren’t so quick to give Grace, just quicker to want that Grace 😉

 

LORD, help me trust YOU – and just be still.

That I may know YOU – even in all of this.

 

: Romans 8:28 – And we know that for those who love God all things work together for good, for those who are called according to His purpose.

  • LORD, I have to believe and trust that YOU have called me. I know I love YOU 😉

 

: Proverbs 11:2 – When pride comes, then comes disgrace, but with the humble is wisdom.

  • LORD, help me be humble. Anything good in me – is YOU!!!!!

 

: Micah 7:7 – But as for me, I will look to the Lord; I will wait for the God of my Salvation; my God will hear me.

  • LORD, I have to believe. YOU are my HOPE. My PROMISE. My PRAYER. It’s all I can do. So with YOUR Help – I will.
