The biggest mistake that I find myself making is the one where I forget who my true enemy is. I throw my anger and frustration at friends, family, coworkers, strangers, God. I blame those around me for the suffering, the oppression, the terror. The truth that often escapes me is the simple fact the should be so easy to regard, is often the one that is farthest from me. The true enemy is Sin; my own depravity. In my failing memory I often excuse or even justify "small" sins, habitual sins, "little" sins. I embrace my own enemy while questioning the God who saved me from it.
Lord, give ear to my prayer and hide not yourself from my plea of mercy! God save me from what I consider "casual" sin. Reveal to me the depth of your sacrifice made on my behalf.
You oh God have removed my sin from me, You have saved me from my own destruction.
You hear my voice, You listen to my cries of anguish. God I trust You for You know me.
