open the eyes of my heart

Lord, You have shown me You.

now please, Lord, show me ME.

there's so much wrong with me...let me see it all.

it's easy to see the flaws of others. but it's terrifying to look inward and see portions of my character that need serious overall.

but i know problems with my character are my greatest obstacles.

i'm afraid to look. i'm afraid to know.

but holding onto Your hand, Lord, walk me through my heart, show me ME.

i can't fix what i don't acknowledge. i'm tired of hiding from myself. i know that i can never

hide from You, for you see all the inner parts of me, parts of me that even I myself can't see. and You and only You have the power to fix my character, repair my heart, renew my mind, and cleanse my soul.

show me ME.

thank You for mercifully loving me in spite of all that You see in me. even on my best day, my best isn't enough to deserve Your love. i am grateful, forever grateful, that You could ever see fit to love someone like this. like me.

thank You.
thank You.

In the name of Jesus i pray,

Amen.
