Strengthen Your Grip

Rescue us from this cycle, Lord, that we all fall into. Sinning until our will gives out and we finally turn to you. Your strength lifts us up out of the pit after we’ve repented. Surrendering to you for a while until our hands start to slip loose of your grip. We pull away back into the feelings that came to you to escape. Before long, we’re back on our hands and knees in begging prayer. And it repeats over and over. Lord, we know you are in us, permanently indwelling. Fill us up so can’t turn off that your life water. Stamp out my rebellion. Break up the vicious circle. Keep me from turning back to the way I was before I knew you.
Based on Proverbs 28:18
