I forget who I am.

I call myself invincible.

You are there to forgive my sin, yet I ignore You. I pass You by and pretend that I am perfect. You open Your arms, but I turn away. Nothing can destroy me. My pride cannot by shamed. I cannot fall, falter, or fail.

Forgive me, Lord. Forgive me because I feel invincible. My idle words flow from my tongue without regret or shame. I hide from the Truth because I know that I am sinning.

You are the only Way to Life. You are the only One who can lend me Light and salvation.

So, why don't I feel like You are? Why is my heart drowning in doubtfulness, and my fears building a wall thicker than brick between us?

Lift me up from my darkness. Humble me.

You are my Father and my Friend. A Light in the world's shadow.

Grant me wisdom that I might see You. Let me bask in the mercy and grace that You give off. I want to be the woman who touched Your clothes and was healed.

You leave the ninety-nine to find me. You welcome me back in your arms when I run away and sink into ruin. You love me, even when I try to back away from You.

God, I am not invincible. Strike down my defenses; let me shine.

I forget who I am.

But I am Yours.
