Don’t look to my eyes
Revealing that which I despise.
longing to feel and longing to see
the woman I was meant to be.
Instead I stand here a sinner.

Abba, so often I fall short of the person I should be…
the person I want to be. 
So often I settle for things less good.
My eyes are so easily distracted by worldly idols…
and selfish desires.
I want to be the child that is true to you,
your salvation, your grace…
your glory.
But alas, I’m not.
Instead I find my true colors in selfishness and complacency.
  I’m sinful, prideful, and far too easily pleased.
My mind is everywhere but you…
the only place I really want it to be.
  I live as a person who is everything but the person you desire me to be.
  I can’t do this alone, father please remain in me. 
Please forgive me Lord.
Amen
