And even when I'm discouraged. Even as you take the carrot away.
Malachi 3:13-15
"You have said harsh things against me," says the Lord.
"Yet you ask, 'what have we said against you?'
"You have said, 'it is futile to serve God. What did we gain by carrying out his requirements and going about like mourners before the Lord Almighty? But now we call the arrogant blessed. Certainly the evildoers prosper, and even those who challenge God escape.'"
Deliver me from those words, which strive to spill from my mouth.
Cleanse me like a dish wiped clean from the inside.
Crush me entirely dear Lord. Help me see my helplessness. Through Christ, through Christ will I approach your throne. Through the sacrifice of my broken heart will I reach you.
As good friday approaches, there is only 1 thing I dare to pray.
And it is this
"I want to know Christ--yes, to know the power of his resurrection and participation in his sufferings, becoming like him in his death"
And though I know not what I'm asking. I'm asking in faith because it is clear that this is Your will for me.
Do not tarry dear Lord.
Crush me completely.
