"I will try"

"I will try"

God, we have no secrets.

I stand bathed in Your light,

My heart naked before You.

How I have struggled in the past

Trying to prove to You and man

That I am not what we both know I indeed am;

A sinful creature in need of a Saviour;

A human striving to be perfect,

Unable to be,

And feeling like a constant failure.

You know my heart,

There is nothing hidden from You.

I must cease my endless striving,

Accept Your forgiveness and unconditional love,

And accept and love myself.

You know I am trying to please You;

I will never be perfect-

Help me remember You just want me

To be willing to try.
