I oughta' be ashamed of myself
How could I go out there and try to change myself
God has ordered my steps and I tried to rearrange myself
I blame myself
Because I knew all along that I could have asked God for help
I was so busy tryin' to make a name for myself
Out there tryin' to play the game of life and messed around and gamed myself
I thought I was finally free, but I chained myself
In the world, wilin' out, now Im tryin' to tame myself
I believed that I was fit, but I crippled, crutched and caned my health
I received so much money, but yet I still restrained my wealth
There is no way I can even begin to explain my myself
I shamed myself
God, I pray that you help me to see that I can reclaim myself
Wash me clean of all sin because I stained myself
I will give you all of the credit Lord and defame myself
I proclaim myself a child of God!

What does it mean to be saved? That if you confess with your mouth, "Jesus is Lord," and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you confess and are saved. As the Scripture says, "Anyone who trusts in him will never be put to shame." As there is no difference between Jew and Gentile-the same Lord is Lord of all and richly blesses all who call on him, for, "Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved." ~Romans 10:9-13

It is so funny, when we know we doing the wrong thing we still feel like we are doing something right, but it isn't until something drastic happens that we realize that we need to do something about the mess we are in.

That line stuck out to me like a flashlight being shined in my face at midnight. Probably b/c that's my issue. Prayed hard for a good job making good money.....only to feed a habit I felt I deserved to have. Shopping for things...pretty things, shiny things, yummy things....all things that I don't need. Spend all my money on those things and then sit wondering how I'm going to make this half of a tank of gas last a whole week...lol! My best friend and I are learning to stop being so spend happy. If we cannot be trusted to properly deal with our finances, then how can we be trusted to deal with the blessings God has given us?!?
Wow..... same for me...... God gives you what you need when you need it and that is why he has sent warriors out to constantly give us messages that we need to keep going!
I struggled with that same issue and wasn't until recently that I realized that I do not have to want or need for anything because I am a child of God. He says, in Psalm 34:10, "Because I seek (inquire and require) the Lord, I shall not lack any beneficial thing." Once I stopped worrying about my finances and how I was gonna get to work, by lunch, get home, no food in the fridge, need to wash cloths, need to get my hair done, pay my car note, pay my car insurance, pay gas & electric, pay this bill and pay that bill, I learned that stressing wasn't going to make it better, it was then that I realized that all I had to do was put my pride aside and ask someone for help. And that is all he wants us to do is to just come to him and ask him for help to change our ways. So we can receive our blessing over and above anything we could ever imagine.
*If I didn't have to have those pair of shoes that I never wore, then I would have had the money and I could have avoided all of this to begin with...And yes, it is that simple to just let go and let God. It is so much sweeter!
@ CJ: i can relate to your words deep within my heart. you just don't know. i too have been there. filled with emptiness. i continue to commit sin, although i do feel i have regain a firm grip upon my spirit.
