%% 4

|
> Establish my Footsteps
|
|
>> Establish my footsteps in your word. Let no iniquity have dominion over me.
|
|
|
|
Occasion: Wanting to break old habits
|
|
|
|
Lord, I've done it again.
|
|
The thing I told myself I was done with.
|
|
One drink turns into the bottle half gone.
|
|
One scroll turns into an hour lost.
|
|
One chip turns into the whole bag.
|
|
|
|
I don't even remember choosing.
|
|
I just look up and I'm already in the chair,
|
|
already reaching,
|
|
already ashamed.
|
|
|
|
Show me the moment before the moment ---
|
|
the first small turn where I could have chosen differently.
|
|
|
|
I'm tired of promises I don't keep.
|
|
Tired of hiding what I did.
|
|
Tired of hating myself in the morning
|
|
for what felt so easy last night.
|
|
|
|
Give me a plain next step instead of a perfect plan ---
|
|
water instead of a drink,
|
|
the phone face-down instead of face-up,
|
|
carrot sticks instead of junk food.
|
|
|
|
Or help me find the courage and honesty to seek help
|
|
for what is beyond me.
|
|
|
|
I've worn this seat down to my shape, Lord.
|
|
Get me up out of it.
|
|
Walk with me toward a different one.
|
|
A better one.
|
|
|
|
Amen. |
