I’m trying, but… what I want to do, I don’t do enough of,
and what I don’t want to do, I do too much of.
I know the rules for a Christian life, according to the Bible,
and I’m trying; I really am, but… heaven and eternity seem so far away,
and the rampantly materialistic world presses in so close
from every direction, every side, that I get distracted.
Focus, focus, focus!
I need to focus, laser-like on a simple, God-centered life.
Do I really need to make that frivolous purchase,
instead of giving the money to someone who needs it
so much more than I do? Can I watch that TV show,
read that book, listen to that song that contains (and promotes!)
even a little bit of what the Bible forbids, without being corrupted?
Do I do enough to love and help and encourage others?
Pride always hovers, eagerly waiting
to subdue and conquer humility, so I think too much of myself.
I know the rules; the Bible makes everything clear.
Forgive me, Lord;
I’m trying, but…
