Helplessly broken.
Blind. And deaf.
Hopeless and broken.
Tattered. And torn.
Utterly lost.
There is no wisdom in me.
There is no peace.
Anger and hate fill me
where once were hope and joy.
My righteous anger
is ineffective.
Completely impotent
to bring any good.
I am undone.
Hopelessly,
helplessly,
utterly
broken.
I call to you
from my pit
in anguish.
I cry to you,
oh Lord
whom I love.
Do not cast me away
in my shame.
Do not be silent
to my pleas.
Empty me of all that
displeases you.
Empty me
of me.
I call to you Lord,
I, whom you love.
You hear my cry.
You answer me
in the darkness.
You who are faithful.
Come quickly, Lord
to save me.
Rescue me from despair.
You fill me with grace.
Your mercy overwhelms me.
In your hands are justice
and mercy.
You will stand before my enemies
with righteousness and truth.
You will destroy the evil.
You will bring healing
to the broken.
You alone.
My future is secure.
For I will trust in you.
You have refined me with fire.
I am wholly yours.
May all who hear of your mercy
fall on their knees in worship.
May your name be praised forever,
God of my heart,
Lord of my life.
