Heal me, O my God.

As a cancer, I still feel it spreading.
I have embraced my sin,
Taken it as a lover,
Allowed it to be a part of me.
Flesh of my flesh.
You hate it, Lord
Teach me to hate it, too.
Lord, I wrestle it, believing it is in my power to overcome.
I now know there is no power save in you.

Forgive me of the arrogance of trying.
Of trusting in my own power.
He who is weak will be made strong.
We find Your strength in our own weakness.

I am powerless, Lord.
Too weak to do good.
Fill me with Your Spirit, Lord,
Give me strength to abide in Your laws.
Give me daily the character to model Christ.
