Conversation Between God and a Sinner

A.M. Morgan
Lord what am I fighting for?

Maybe I should just let it all go

The desires of my heart seem to bring only pain

It's a struggle can you help me to comprehend if my living is in vain?

My neighbor judges but never prays for me

I am not a victim by my internal chastisement is a rude awakening

And the sound of self doubt seems ungrateful in the presence of my blessings

I no longer want to box with my destiny

My heart longs for unconditional affection

But secretly I can't see past the flaws in my own reflection

The source of all of my conflicts with others is my unprofessed depression

But I keep hiding behind pride and anger to pretend I'm over it

My emotions seem dead so I say I am not easily offended

I am not alone in these thoughts but today I place them all on the heavenly altar for divine review

I am a sinner and although it currently seems I'm lost in the shallow world

This conversation with God reveals what I've been designed for

Because of Jesus' sacrifice at the cross I've been informed my salvation is already paid for
