Call Upon God To Help You With Traumas and Past Mistakes
Mine iniquities have taken hold upon me, so that I am not able to look up;
therefore my heart faileth me.
Be pleased, O Lord, to deliver me:
O Lord, make haste to help me.
PSALM 40, verses 12, 13.
Sin shall not have dominion over you.
ROMANS 6, verse 14.
O Thou, to whose all-searching sight
The darkness shineth as the light!
Search, prove my heart; it pants for Thee;
Oh, burst these bonds, and set it free!
G. TERSTEEGEN.
Yes, this sin which has sent me weary-hearted to bed and desperate in heart to
morning work, that has made my plans miscarry until I am a coward,
that cuts me off from prayer, that robs the sky of blueness and the earth
of springtime, and the air of freshness, and human faces of
friendliness,--this blasting sin which perhaps has made my bed in hell for me so long,
--this can be conquered. I do not say annihilated, but, better than that,
conquered, captured and transfigured into a friend: so that I
at last shall say, "My temptation has become my strength!
for to the very fight with it I owe my force."
