I know I am weak. We all are when it comes to the desires of the heart. The Spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak.
Just words for some. But I have phobias. One is disease and the others stem from trust issues. So I try to battle the forces within me that by nature are inherent to the flesh.
I seek companionship yet I have been hurt so many times in the past I am so lost when it comes to matters of the heart and closeness to someone. The only thing I can do is follow the signs.
The only thing I can do is pray to God above, the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit to take my pain and anguish, like a thorn, from my side.
Matthew 26:41 (ESV) Watch and pray that you may not enter into temptation. The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.”
“Three times I begged the Lord to take it away from me. But he said to me, “My grace is all you need. My power is strongest when you are weak.” (2nd Corinthians 12:8-9)
Lord, forgive me of my weakness. Your Grace is sufficient. The only thing I can do is pray and keep praying for the strength to fight my pride. I understand I know nothing.
I am no one to preach or judge others. Yet I am weary. Tired of the lonesomness. Tired of the anguish of broken dreams and mistrust.
But I do urge anyone who feels weak in any aspect of their lives to turn to the Lord and the saving Grace given to us from Christ and his forgiveness and mercy.
