GO:

“The Lord upholds all who fall, And raises up all who are bowed down.”

Psalm 145:15

How many times must I fall??

As a child the bumps, scrapes and scratches hurt enough

but the times I have fallen since….

have hurt much worse

The falls along my spiritual journey

the countless times I have slipped away from the Lord

becoming self absorbed & oh, so selfish

the relentless days I’ve talked too much instead of ” slow to speak”

the shameful times I have lost my cool verses being “slow to anger”

the prideful, irritable, unforgiving, haughty days

Forgive me Lord

Thank you for your saving mercy

Cleanse me of me

Thank you for your ongoing grace

each time I fall…

STOP.

have a blessed day y’all
