stuck in my ruts #poetry #God #Christ #Spirit #sin #confession #repentance

stuck in my ruts,
in my fear, my rebellion
taking the place of God
refusing to surrender,
to climb up out of the ruts
to repent, to change direction
to confess my failures
my need for a Savior…
 
stuck in my flesh
my sin, my rebellion
claiming the illusion of control
when that is the Devil
being drawn to destruction
needing to confess, to repent,
to surrender my autonomy
to make God my God
again, once more…
