Woe is Me
Romans 7:14-21
14 ΒΆ For we know that the law is spiritual:
but I am carnal, sold under sin.
15 For that which I do I allow not: for what
I would, that do I not; but what I hate, that do
I.
16 If then I do that which I would not, I
consent unto the law that [it is] good.
17 Now then it is no more I that do it, but
sin that dwelleth in me.
18 For I know that in me (that is, in my
flesh,) dwelleth no good thing: for to will is
present with me; but [how] to perform that
which is good I find not.
19 For the good that I would I do not: but
the evil which I would not, that I do.
20 Now if I do that I would not, it is no
more I that do it, but sin that dwelleth in me.
21 I find then a law, that, when I would do
good, evil is present with me.
Forgive me Lord for this self-pity and discouragement that I'm feeling. Forgive me Lord for feeling there is
no hope and that nothing can pull me out of this hole I've buried myself in. Forgive me Lord for allowing all
that I'm feeling to take hold of my life. Forgive me Lord for limiting your abilities.
I know Lord that all things are possible with you. I know that I'm in this state of despair because of my sin.
Please Lord forgive me for my wrong doings. Please Lord lift me out of this hole and help me to see the
hope that you have surrounded me with. Open my eyes Lord. Help me to move on and strengthen me Lord
to do what I must do to get to that place of joy and hope again.
In Jesus' name I ask these things...AMEN
