Psalmody #2 – Prayer of Repentance – January 17, 2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Oh Lord, I am not worthy of your love.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I am most unworthy to receive the gifts you have given me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I do not praise you as I should, and I do not pray likewise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I am not mindful of your presence in all things.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I am a wretched sinner, Lord; I am deserving of death.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I am not worthy to receive the light you shine,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

rather appearing to prefer the darkness before me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why cannot I not turn away from myself oh Lord,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

and leave behind the fetters of sin that hold me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My very soul is disquieted within me, it weeps<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My very soul sheds many tears for my many sins,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

for they are great in iniquity, and even greater in number.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Like the stars in the sky, so are my misdeeds,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

and the darkness behind them consumes me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yet I know that your light shines brightly, uncreated,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

and you alone can dispel the darkness that consumes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You alone are the light unto all nations, and all people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I will step out from the darkness of the shadow of my sins,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

and bring your light into where the darkness dwells.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I pray, Oh Lord, that I shine brightly, but shine<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Not of myself, or my word, or my works, I pray<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That I shine because of nothing of myself, but because of you,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I pray that I will shine the light of your truth,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

that all would be enkindled in the warmth of your love,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As long  as I carry that light within me,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I pray the shadow of my sin nevermore consumes me.
