Falling Into Theold Patterns Of Sin Poem by Dr. Antony Theodore

A life of sin leads me to death.

Humbly bow our heads.
Surrender our hearts before God
and murmur to yourself:
I only want what You want.
I dedicate my desires to You, Lord.

I ask that You eradicate any desire
in me, that could lead to defiance,
disobedience and destruction.

Lord, let it be so for me today.

Father God, I don't want to keep
falling into the same old patterns
of sin again and again.

Open my eyes to see any areas
of disobedience in my life.

Show me where my choices
are leading toward destruction
and help me turn away from
any and every misplaced desire.

I long for a heart that's fully
aligned with Yours.

"Search me, God, and know my heart; test me and know my anxious thoughts. See if there is any offensive way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting." (From the Psalms of the Old Testament of the holy Bible. Psalm 139: 23-24, NIV)
