“Here I am” (1 Samuel 3:5; NLT).
O God, you know how foolish I am; my sins cannot be hidden from you (Psalm 69:5; NLT).
For he knows how weak we are; he remembers we are only dust (Psalm 103:14; NLT).
You know of my shame, scorn and disgrace (Psalm 69:19; NLT).
You know everything I do (Psalm 130:3; NLT).
…he knows the secrets of every heart (Psalm 44:21; NLT).
Lord,
Here I am,
With all my sins
And weaknesses,
My ill-health,
And anxieties,
Low self-esteem,
Depression,
And my painful awkwardness
In social situations.
Please forgive,
And heal,
And help me,
Through and through.
Thank you for loving me,
And living in my heart,
Despite all that I am,
And all I’m not –
Or perhaps because of it –
For only you know fully
Why I need your help
So much.
