Oh, Almighty God,

I have no beautiful prayer tonight. I have no promises to impress you. I have no great words about the man I will become tomorrow. I have only this shame sitting beside me, This heart that cannot forgive itself,

And these knees That still remember The way to your feet.

So here I am, Father. I am here because I have nowhere else To take this broken version of me. I have sinned again.

But, God, I do not want to stay here. Please. Do not let this be another night. I cry at Your feet, Wipe my tears, And walked back to the same door. Teach me how to leave What my heart keeps calling home. Teach me how to remember You When temptation forgets to warn me That I am about to lose myself again. And if you still have room

For a son who keeps finding his way Back to the same mistake, Father, I am here. I am here. I am here.
