One More Time

Unsatisfied. I am so unsatisfied. God, I confess that I have been giving a lot of time, energy, and devotion to various idols in my life. I forget that this is the natural trajectory of idol-worship, that worshipping anything other than you will only leave me feeling empty. 

I think you know (no, I know that you know) that I'm in a lot of pain. That most of the time, I carry around a heart that aches and I can't seem to contain the hurt in my heart from spilling over. That the line between me doing well and me doing poorly is pretty thin, and that more often than not I find myself in the desperate space. 

So one more time, I ask that you would captivate my heart. That you would give me the boldness to bring my idols to the foot of the cross and trust your grace and power to resist my greatest temptations. One more time, I ask that you would incline my heart to you and help me to devote myself to wholeheartedly live for you.
