“There is no fire like lust, no vice like hatred, no trap like delusion, and no galloping river like craving.” - Buddha

“The evil of the wicked is a well of darkness - all who know have said this much. The worse he is, the more his well is ghastly, for justice has awarded worse for worse.” - Rumi

“Once, you were alienated from God and were enemies in your minds because of your evil behavior.” - The Apostle Paul

On many occasions I’ve thrown myself headlong into the well of darkness and been a secret enemy of God.
     I know how my faults feed my folly.
     I know how I’ve rejected right ways.
There are still wild and wayward parts of my thoughts and my spirit.
     I still haven’t completely contained my chaos
     - Nor should I.

Father, You’ve led me to this space.
You’ve removed indecision.
You’re moving me into Your will.

     But, I’m still afraid.
     I still have cravings and desires.
     And there is still my pride.

Please redeem and forgive my flaws.
I pray You will use me to create a greater good.

     I am broken. Please fix me. 
       Amen.
